A suspicious package found in a vehicle outside RAF Lakenheath has turned out to be harmless.

As a precaution, a 500m (1,640ft) cordon was place around Gate 1 at the Suffolk base and traffic on the A1065 was diverted on Wednesday.

Police said the package was found during routine checks on vehicles entering the US air base.

Surrounding facilities were evacuated and a team of explosive disposal experts carried out investigations.
