TWO bomb scares shut a bus station and closed a road.

A box was seen on top of a BT phone kiosk in Edge Top Road, Thornhill, at 5.50pm yesterday.

Police sealed the road off and called in an Army bomb disposal team.

The soldiers carried out a controlled explosion on the box. But it was just an air freshener which cleans the air inside the box.

At Cleckheaton bus station at 3.40pm yesterday a man was seen sweating while carrying a package.

The building was sealed off and the 28-year-old man was arrested.

The package was found to be harmless and the man was released without charge.
