Armed officers have taken a man off a plane at East Midlands Airport due to a bomb alert.
Police and airport staff responded and a suspect was detained but no trace of a dangerous item was found.
Witnesses said the Jet2 flight was delayed by about three hours and the incident caused delays to other flights.
Leicester Police has released an update yesterday saying: “The man arrested has since been released on bail and our enquiries remain ongoing.”
