Euston station was the latest location to experience the impact of a series of events that have been causing chaos in the UK. In just 96 hours, there have been a total of five bomb scares, with separate incidents occurring at various locations across the country. The latest of these occurrences was a loud explosion near Euston station yesterday, adding to the string of incidents that have been happening all over the UK. Other affected areas include the US Embassy, Gatwick Airport, Chester rail and bus stations, and Glasgow bus station.
The incident at Euston station caused quite a commotion on Saturday afternoon. Passengers who were travelling through the busy station were suddenly evacuated while the Metropolitan Police carried out a "controlled explosion" at around 12:40pm. This came just a day after thousands of travellers at Gatwick airport experienced major disruptions due to a bomb scare at 8:20am on Friday morning. The situation at the South Terminal was tense as the Sussex Police bomb disposal squad conducted an investigation on a suspected prohibited item in luggage. Thankfully, the item was later deemed safe and the two individuals who were briefly detained were able to continue with their journeys.
Wednesday also saw a bomb scare at Glasgow's Buchanan Bus station, which resulted in a controlled explosion being carried out by Police Scotland at around 1pm. The incident, which was initially treated as a credible threat, caused the nearby Glasgow Caledonian University to evacuate as a precaution. Three men were arrested in connection to the incident, but they have since been released without charge. However, there is no evidence linking any of these incidents together.
Despite this, experts speculate that the events in London may be the work of a sick individual who is trying to mock security authorities. Professor Anthony Glees from the University of Buckingham told GB News that it seemed like someone with a grudge against the authorities was behind these incidents. He urged the public not to worry, stating that it was more of a case for Sherlock Holmes and Dr Watson than it was for counter terrorist police.
The chaos continued on Friday morning when the US Embassy in Nine Elms, London, was put on lockdown due to a "security alert". Armed police and fire services were seen outside the building, and a spokesperson for the Metropolitan Police released a statement saying that they were investigating a suspect package. Later, it was revealed that the item was a hoax device, and an investigation has been launched.
In the evening, another controlled explosion was carried out in Chester city centre, near Liverpool. This resulted in the evacuation of the railway station and nearby bus interchange, with witnesses reporting a loud bang. However, the incident was later declared to be a false alarm by Cheshire Police.
These events have caused speculation on social media about whether they are linked. However, as of Sunday, there has been no official comment from the police, government, or security services. The Metropolitan Police released a statement to Metro, stating that they are not treating the incidents at Euston station and the US Embassy as connected at this time. The UK Home Office has been contacted for comment.
