After thorough checks, the item was revealed to be just a bag of clothes. Thames Valley Police said:

“The cordons were in place as a precaution while we ascertained what this was — public safety is our top priority.”

With the threat cleared, cordons have now been lifted, and normal service resumed at Tesco.
