Woman's Scooter Blown Up in Security Scare
Sun Mar 20,12:26 PM ET LONDON (Reuters) - Heidi Brown was told she
could park her new scooter outside the vehicle registration office while she
waited to get license plates.
To her horror, it was blown up by the army after someone reported that it
might be a bomb.
Police in Ipswich, eastern England, confirmed on Thursday that a moped had
been blown up in a controlled explosion after local business people
"raised concerns" that it could be a bomb.
"The moped was chained to the perimeter fence outside the building. We
weren't able to identify whose vehicle it was because there were no license
plates on it," said a spokeswoman for Suffolk police.
She said the surrounding office buildings were evacuated and three roads
were closed off.
The Daily Telegraph newspaper reported the scooter belonged to Brown, a
22-year-old care worker, who said she had been told she could leave it there
awaiting inspection. |
