YouTube Description

as posted by the channel

Two people detained during a security incident at Gatwick Airport have been allowed to continue their journeys after a suspect package saw a "large part" of the South Terminal evacuated.

The terminal was closed for hours after the discovery of a "suspected prohibited item" in a passenger's luggage sparked an emergency response. It reopened at around 3.45pm.

Officers from the EOD (Explosive Ordnance Disposal) team "made the package safe" before handing the airport back to its operator, Sussex Police said.
