British authorities charged Daniel Parmenter (43) with making false bomb threats after last weeks US Embassy incident in London; the suspect got arrested after police searched his home on sunday
The court hearing happened monday‚ where officials kept Parmenter in custody - heʼs gonna appear at the Old Bailey court on dec-23rd (which is known as Londons main criminal court)
Police made it clear: “there are no current links between this investigation and any similar incidents of reported suspicious packages in recent days“ The statement came after a series of un-related security alerts across London including:
