Hailsham Bomb Hoax - Diplocks estate evacuated in photos
https://hailsham.news. A 24 year-old local man has been arrested on suspicion of a bomb hoax and is being questioned by Police.
More than a hundred homes were evacuated this evening after a package was discovered on a wall on the Diplocks estate.
Chief Inspector Rosie Ross said: “We would like to thank local residents for their patience and understanding this evening while this incident was dealt with. The cordon was placed around the area as a safety precaution while we waited for the EOD unit to arrive and inspect the package.
“The EOD unit securely disposed of the package and subsequently it was determined that the item which had resembled an explosive device, was a hoax.
“The area is now safe and the cordons have been lifted.”
The man remains in custody and the investigation is ongoing.
