ASDA HQ evacuated in Leeds: 11 photos from the scene

Staff at the office in Great Wilson Street have been sent home on Monday (November 9), although an eyewitness told the Yorkshire Evening Post that workers were not being allowed to enter the car park to retrieve their cars.

In a statement, a spokesperson for the force said: “At 11.16am this morning, police received reports of a suspicious package having been sent to Asda House, Great Wilson Street, Leeds. Emergency services are currently at the scene and an Army EOD team has been called to attend.”

Here are our photos from the scene this afternoon.
