Information sought over Worthing station bomb hoax

At around 10.45pm on Monday, December 29, a man called 999, telling police another man had left four bags at nearby West Worthing station and that ‘everyone had run away screaming’.

Detective Constable Vanessa Cottington said: “Who are the three men in the images from Worthing station?

“Shortly before the 999 call was made, five men and a woman were seen on platforms one and two.

“The group travelled to Brighton by train following the phone calls.

“Bomb threats cause unnecessary alarm and take-up emergency service time that could be used handling incidents elsewhere.

“I want to identify these men and urge them to come forward, so that they can be ruled out from enquiries. If anyone knows who them, please contact BTP.”

Anyone with information on this incident should contact British Transport Police on 0800 405040, or text 61016, quoting SSUB/B7 of 13 January 2015.

Information can also be passed anonymously to independent charity Crimestoppers on 0800 555111.

CCTV images of the men have been released in an effort to find them.
