Sussex Police took immediate action by conducting a controlled burn of the chemicals that were found on the A259 Marina in St Leonards. This discovery led to the arrest of a 28-year-old man and the evacuation of nearby properties as a precautionary measure.
Authorities were shocked to find an additional 500 cannisters containing chemicals that were deemed non-explosive. The cancellation of the popular running event, which attracted over 3,000 participants last year, was a difficult decision for the organizers. Despite exploring alternative options, the safety of everyone involved was deemed the top priority by the authorities.
Residents near the property on the A259 Marina in St Leonards were evacuated as a safety precaution while authorities continued their search for any other hazardous materials present. Thankfully, there is no indication that the arrested individual had any intention of causing harm to himself or others. The ongoing investigation has led to the detainment of the 28-year-old under the Mental Health Act as inquiries unfold. As a precautionary measure, a 100m cordon remains in place at the site until authorities determine if it can be reduced.
