As you read these lines (forty minutes ago) – the area around the Gherkin at St. Mary Axe in the City of London, next door to the Baltic Exchange has been cordoned-off…
There has been an evacuation of the entire building (The famous Gherkin). There is a silver Focus car opposite opposite at the Pret a Manger…We will keep you posted once we have news…
Update 12:45 GMT: Thee has been a search around the silver Focus car by police trained dogs and thereafter a controlled explosion of the car’s door locks took place.
Update 12:55 GMT: All fine, it could have been a false alert – let’s call it this way, but the authorities, the Police in particular demonstrated as always ultra professionalism to avoid even an iota of a disaster. Many Congratulations to them and their specialist squads!
Update 13:30 GMT: Further to our last update, nothing suspicious was found in the car but its driver was arrested for possession of false identity docs.
