THE MAN who discovered the item which caused a four-hour lockdown of a road in Whitley has described what the object as “something suspicious.” David Venning, who lives at one of the properties on Lulworth Road, was passing a nearby bin store at around 9.30am when he spotted the item. He immediately called the police who told him to go indoors. Within half an hour, police knocked on his door and asked him to evacuate his property as they were dealing with a “suspicious package.” Around 100 people were forced to leave their homes as a cordon was put in place around Lulworth Road.
