Picture this: You’re walking to grab a coffee, minding your own business. Suddenly, you see about fifteen police vans and officers in full kit. Not the friendly “lost your wallet” kind—the serious, “we mean business” kind.
Eyewitnesses on social media were losing it. One person said they saw a “mysterious package.” Another claimed it was just a forgotten backpack. Classic London, right? Everything is a potential disaster until proven otherwise.
