Police arrested a man under the Explosives Act after a suspicious package was found in a vehicle parked near a police station.

Both High Wycombe police station and Buckinghamshire Council offices were evacuated, and St Mary's Street and Queen Victoria Road in the town were closed, after the discovery on Monday morning.

The package was examined and deemed to be "not of concern", Thames Valley Police said.

A man arrested in connection with the incident has since been released with no further action being taken, it said.

A theatre car park was within the cordoned-off area and police assisted drivers to safely move their vehicles.

The closed roads and offices in the town were reopened in the afternoon.

Posting about the incident on X, police said at the time: "A man has been arrested under the Explosives Act in connection with the incident.

"There is no indication that this is related to terrorism, but we are keeping an open mind."

A spokesperson for Thames Valley Police told the ������̳ on Tuesday: "Following yesterday’s incident in High Wycombe a thorough investigation has been conducted and a man arrested on suspicion of offences under the Explosives Act has been released with no charge, as no criminal offences have been identified.

"We do not believe there is any wider danger to the public.

"We would like to thank members of the public for their patience in this matter, but it was paramount for us to ensure the safety of everyone."
