THREE people have been arrested on suspicion of making a bomb hoax in Bradford.

Police have confirmed the arrests related to a pro-Palestine demonstration that was organised in the city towards the end of last month.

Those arrested - a 46-year-old man, an 18-year-old man, and a 46-year-old woman - were detained in Stoke-on-Trent, Staffordshire.

They have been released on conditional bail while police investigations continue.

A Staffordshire Police spokesperson told the Telegraph & Argus: "We arrested two men and a woman after reports of a bomb hoax in December.

"A 46-year-old man, an 18-year-old man and a 46-year-old woman, all from Stoke-on-Trent, were arrested on suspicion of making a bomb hoax – communicating false information.

"They were released on conditional bail while we continue our enquiries."
