A 35-year-old man has been arrested as part of an investigation into a suspicious package found in Folkestone earlier this week.
Kent Police were called to Radnor Park West at 7:44 am on Wednesday, 18 September 2024, after a suspicious package was discovered. As a precaution, a cordon was established while the Ministry of Defence’s Explosive Ordnance Disposal (EOD) team attended the scene to examine the item.

After a thorough inspection, the EOD team confirmed the area was safe, and the cordon was lifted later that day.
That same day, officers arrested a local man in connection with the incident. He has since been released on bail while further enquiries continue.

Authorities are urging anyone with information regarding the incident to come forward and assist in the ongoing investigation.
