Asda’s headquarters in Leeds is evacuated after reports of a suspicious package prompt an emergency response. Multiple outlets say emergency services attend the scene and staff are moved away while authorities assess the item.
BBC News and other outlets report that an Army disposal or explosive ordnance disposal team is called to attend. The Mirror adds additional on-the-ground detail, describing evacuated workers gathering on grassland opposite the building on Great Wilson Street. The Daily Express also frames the incident around bomb squad activity and public advice to avoid the area.
Across coverage, the central facts are consistent: a suspicious package is reported at Asda’s Leeds HQ, the site is evacuated, and bomb disposal specialists are deployed. Differences are mainly in the level of location detail and the specific emphasis on the bomb squad response and public-facing warnings, rather than on new incident claims.
