WHITE MAN WEARING BURKA AND NIQAB ARRESTED AND THE BOMB SQUAD BLOW SOMETHING UP

This sounds really suspicious. A white man wearing a Burka with Niqab was stopped in Watford. He was carrying 2 rucksacks, one branded with Peppa Pig, the other a Ladybird. The bomb squad were called out and blew up something but not sure if it was those bags! The Daily Mai says the rucksacks were filled with books. Bt if so why was the man arrested? And what did the bomb squad blow up?

A 'burka-clad white man' has been arrested after police detonated a suspect package in Watford town centre.

Officers were called to a street close to the Hertfordshire town's main shopping area just after 11am today following reports a suspicious item had been found outside a Travelodge hotel.

The man is believed to have been carrying two rucksacks - one branded with children's TV character Peppa Pig - although it is not known whether these were the ones destroyed.

Army bomb disposal experts and a bomb disposal robot were called to the scene as the area was evacuated.

Hertfordshire Constabulary said the device had been 'safely destroyed' by bomb disposal experts this afternoon and confirmed a man had been arrested in connection with the incident.

The suspect was carrying Peppa Pig and Ladybird children's rucksacks filled with books when he was handcuffed by officers.

...Officers had earlier appealed for a dog walker - who was walking through Watford town centre at the time - to come forward. She has since been identified.

...'As part of the ongoing investigation, a man has been arrested in connection with the incident and is being taken into police custody.'
