A man has been arrested after a suspicious package was sent to a coronavirus vaccine production facility in Wales.
Police say a 53-year-old was detained this morning in Chatham, Kent, after the package was sent to the plant in Wrexham on Wednesday.
The bomb disposal unit was called to the centre, and a partial evacuation took place while investigations were carried out.

In a statement, Kent Police, said that "as part of ongoing enquiries, which are being carried out by the Kent and Essex Serious Crime Directorate, pre-planned warrants took place" in addresses across Chatham.
The force added there was "no evidence to suggest there is an ongoing threat".
AstraZeneca does not own the site in Wrexham were the incident happened.
Instead, one of the pharmaceutical company's partners - Wockhardt UK - operates the facility, and AstraZeneca is using it to fill vials with the vaccine before the doses get packed and distributed.
Wockhardt said yesterday that, while there was a partial evacuation, the "temporary suspension of manufacturing has in no way affected our production schedule".
North Wales Police said in a statement the bomb disposal experts from the Royal Logistics Corps went to the facility and examined the suspicious package.
The contents of the package were then removed and taken for further analysis.
