On Sunday the 8th of January police and The Explosive Ordinance Disposal (EOD) team were called out in the early hours after reports of a suspicious package on Trefusis Road in Flushing, Falmouth.

After investigating the package and closing off the street, the EOD team deemed that there was no risk to the public and they believed the item to have been a 'hoax device'.

Police have now charged a man in connection to an incident and released a statement:

"Lee Moody, 58, St Dogmaels, Pembrokeshire, has been charged with that on 21 December 2022 at Guildford, Surrey, he dispatched by means of post an article namely a homemade mocked explosive device with the intention of inducing in another a belief that the said article was likely to explode or ignite and thereby cause personal injury or damage to property."

He is due to appear before Haverford West Magistrates' Court on Wednesday 11 January.
