Fife Amazon site declared safe after 'suspicious package' probe

The Amazon depot in Dunfermline has been declared safe, after bomb disposal experts were called about a suspicious package.

An area surrounding the fulfilment centre - which employs more than 1,000 people - was cordoned off earlier this evening.

But experts have now said that the package poses no threat.

A police spokesperson had earlier said: "Around 5.30pm police received a report of a suspicious package found within the Amazon depot in Dunfermline.

"Emergency services are in attendance and the building has been evacuated, and a cordon put in place.

"EOD (Explosive Ordnance Disposal Unit) will attend to inspect the package and enquiries are ongoing."
