Bomb squad swoop at Eurotunnel after suspicious vehicle halts Folkestone shuttles
Explosives experts from the British Army have raced to the Eurotunnel terminal in Cheriton, Folkestone, after a suspicious vehicle was stopped this morning. Shuttle services were temporarily suspended as emergency teams moved in.
Suspicious vehicle stopped at 10:30am
Authorities intercepted the vehicle around 10:30am at the Channel Tunnel terminal. A safety cordon was quickly set up, and bomb disposal teams are now combing the scene to ensure public safety.
Incident unrelated to escaped terror suspect
Officials have confirmed the incident is not linked to the nationwide hunt for Daniel Khalife, the terror suspect who fled Wandsworth Prison earlier this week.
Ongoing investigations and public warnings
The situation is still developing. Locals and travellers are urged to follow updates via official sources while investigations continue at the busy Eurotunnel site.
