Gatwick Airport London - Hundreds evacuated after 'security incident'

A "suspicious item" has been found forcing the South Terminal to be partially evacuated.

Sussex Police has confirmed that explosives specialists are on the scene.

In a statement the service said: โ€œPolice were called to the south terminal at Gatwick airport at 8.20am on Friday following the discovery of a suspected prohibited item in luggage.

โ€œTo 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.

โ€œAs a precaution, an EOD (explosive ordnance disposal) team is being deployed to the airport. This is causing significant disruption and some roads around the south terminal have been closed. Weโ€™d advise the public to avoid the area where possible.โ€
