King Power Stadium 'bomb scare' turns out to be technical fault

Administration and ground staff were forced to evacuate the King Power Stadium this lunchtime, after a bomb scare forced the evacuation of Leicester City's stadium, before any panic was allayed as the issue was found to be caused by a technical fault.

Sniffer dogs were brought into the ground, which has a capacity of 32,000, after Italian manager Claudio Ranieri and journalists waiting to speak to him were hastily evacuated.
