The area around the Post Office, including the Flag Market, Harris Street, the covered market and the top end of Friargate, was cordoned off and the Bomb Squad were called to investigate the “suspicious” briefcase.
The brown briefcase was spotted at about 2.15pm in the public area of the Post Office by a customer who had seen the man leave it behind and it was reported to branch manager Paul Hutchinson.
The all-clear was given two hours later after an elderly man, whose name has not been released, approached a police officer to ask what was happening and when told realised the briefcase was his.

A Harris County grand jury has indicted three people who tried to illegally influence races in two Houston-area state House districts during the 2020 election cycle, District Attorney Kim Ogg announced Friday.
The impacted districts were House District 132 and House District 142, currently represented by state Reps. Gina Calanni, D-Katy, and Harold Dutton, D-Houston, respectively. Dutton s reelection bid made headlines earlier this year after questions were raised about whether one of the candidates on the ballot in his March primary actually existed. None of the allegations involved the voting process or the casting of illegal ballots.
