Bomb Disposal Unit: Gatwick Airport Evacuated | 22 Nov 2024 | London’s Gatwick Airport evacuated part of its South Terminal as a precaution on Friday while police investigated a suspicious item found in luggage. Authorities were called to the terminal at 8:20 a.m. after the discovery of a “suspected prohibited item,” Sussex Police said in a statement. “To ensure the safety of the public, staff and other airport users, a security cordon has been put in place whilst the matter is dealt with,” police said in a statement. “As a precaution, an EOD (explosive ordnance disposal) team is being deployed to the airport.” The train station serving Gatwick has also been closed, Britain’s rail network operator said.
