Patients evacuated in hospital bomb alert
Patients were evacuated from a hospital after a bomb alert.
The drama happened after a suspicious package was spotted under a car parked outside the Royal Hospital Haslar in Gosport.
A 100-meter cordon was imposed around the vehicle as a Royal Navy bomb disposal squad investigated the package.
Steve Partridge, spokesman for the Ministry of Defence Police, said: 'Some patients were evacuated from the hospital and the team then carried out a controlled explosion.'
The alert started at 12.30pm on Wednesday March 25 and the all-clear was sounded just over three hours later.
