London: Alert ends at New Street station in Birmingham – ‘Suspicious object’ identified

by

Police officers who are investigating the “suspicious object” have rushed to the scene

The alarm has ended at Birmingham New Street train station which was earlier evacuated by the British authorities after passengers reported an “unknown object” and specifically a “grenade” on the platform of the station.

After an investigation by the authorities, it was found that it was a cannabis grinder in the shape of a grenade.

“The item has now been assessed by specialist officers and is no longer being treated as suspicious,” British Transport Police said.

Birmingham New Street is the busiest station outside London and an earlier alarm forced dozens of passengers to evacuate while others were trapped inside wires until the investigation was completed.
