Manchester United Match Cancelled Over Discovery Of Suspicious Package by donmayorgroup(m): 9:09pm On May 15, 2016 |
Curled from http://www.michaeldoosblog.info/2016/05/man-u-match-against-bournemouth.html?m=1 The dramatic evacuation of tens of thousands of fans from Old Trafford sparked off when a mobile phone connected to wiring was found abandoned in a toilet during Manchester United's final-day clash with Bournemouth this afternoon was the result of an 'elaborate hoax', it is understood. The Premier League game was originally scheduled to kick-off at 3pm but was hastily pushed back to 3.45pm and later cancelled altogether when officials discovered an 'incredibly lifelike explosive device' consisting of a mobile phone and piping in a toilet cubicle. Bomb disposal experts were called in to examine the device and fans were told to stay away from the 76,000-seater stadium while detectives and sniffer dogs investigated the scene and a controlled explosion was carried out on the suspect package. I t is gathered that the results of the controlled explosion point towards the device being an elaborate hoax and police are expected to launch a wide-ranging investigation to find the culprit. One security official, who saw the device, said: 'It certainly did not look like something you would want to mess with.' The decision to abandon the game was taken by the club and the Football Association, following a consultation with the police. Officers are said to have been thankful and impressed by the calm response to the evacuation by supporters. A picture of the device was taken before the controlled explosion and is expected to be used as evidence, should an arrest and charges follow. Greater Manchester Police confirmed this evening: 'Full assessment now concluded and found device wasn't viable. A full search of the stadium is ongoing.'
