Trafalgar Square evacuated as armed cops sealed off London tourist hotspot

ARMED police today evacuated Trafalgar Square in London after a "suspicious package" was found.



Armed police evacuated Trafalgar Square in London after a "suspicious package" was found at Duncannon Street this afternoon.

Charing Cross tube station was also closed as a precaution.

Specialist officers swooped in to deal with the incident – which is now under control.



Met Police tweeted: "The incident in Charing Cross has now been stood down. Cordons will be lifted shortly."

"Police called to reports of a suspicious item in Charing Cross. Not being treated as terrorist related at this time. No injuries," the force wrote earlier.

Officers confirmed they received a call alerting them to the package at 2.40pm.



Bus services to the area were being terminated and traffic around the iconic tourist hotspot temporarily halted.

A worker nearby tweeted: "Trafalgar Square has been shut down due to a suspect package and our offices have been evacuated. Absolutely terrifying."

"Currently in an office in Trafalgar Square, building lockdown after heavily armed police have found a suspicious package in the square. Mad," another wrote.

A third said: "Trafalgar Square has been evacuated due to a suspect package. I'm sat in an office facing the square #TrafalgarSquare."



It comes just days after Saturday's horrific attack at London Bridge, during which three armed jihadis killed eight and injured scores more during a savage rampage through the popular tourist hotspot.

Police confirmed three arrests made in east London earlier today were part of their ongoing investigation into the shocking incident.

It's never good for anyone to die for the good deeds they have done
