Police carry out controlled explosion at Euston station

The station, one of the UK's busiest, was evacuated as police investigated the suspect package.

“We’re aware of reports online about an incident in the vicinity of Euston Station,” the Metropolitan Police said in a statement shortly before 12.30pm. “Police cordons are in place as a precaution while officers investigate a suspect package.”

In an update 20 minutes later, the Met said: “A controlled explosion has been carried out by specialist officers and the police cordons have now been lifted. Thank you for your patience.”
