Kensington Gardens Lockdown: Suspicious Items Found

0:00On April 17th, Kensington Gardens got locked down this morning after cops found some suspicious discarded items. Around 9.45 a.m. on Friday, April 17th, they evacuated the area and called in officers suited up in protective gear just to be safe. The whole spot next to Kensington Palace in Hyde Park is off-limits for now. They're focusing on a section near the bands they hand in pond, all cord and off-tight. Officials with the Metropolitan Police say there's no extra danger to the public. So folks should just steer clear until they give the all-clear. Word spread fast about a video popping up online overnight, where some group brags about flying drones with nasty substances tore the nearby Israeli. Embassy, people are buzzing online, wondering if it's connected, but the embassy hasn't been hit at all. Cops are digging deep with urgent checks to verify that video and see if it links to those items in the gardens. They've got their chemical, biological, radiological and nuclear team on site, plus search crews, divers, and even fire investigation dogs from the London Fire Brigade.
