Explosives team lift cordon at Fengate recycling centre after 'disposing of item'
Tip operated by Peterborough City Council has now re-opened
Cambridgeshire Police have now lifted the cordon at Fengate recycling centre.
The centre at Dodson House, in Fengate, was closed from 12.52pm after workers found what they thought was a suspicious container.
A cordon was put in place as a precaution and the Explosive Ordnance Disposal team (EOD) was sent to the site.
A spokesperson for Cambridgeshire Police said: “We were called at 12:52pm today (11 July) with reports of a suspicious container at the recycling centre in Fengate, Peterborough.
“A cordon has been put in place as a precaution."
The Explosive Ordnance Disposal team (EOD) has now left the site and disposed of the item, believed to be a small, metal container, police told the Peterborough Telegraph.
The centre has now re-opened again after the item isn’t thought to be “anything of concern.”
