Police in London temporarily closed a street in Whitehall, near the Houses of Parliament, after the discovery of a suspicious package on Friday afternoon.
The Met tweeted that “specialist officers” were called to the scene to assess the item and “make the package safe.”
The force later confirmed that a suspicious package was removed from Whitehall by police, and the cordon is now being lifted.
