Police in Worthing were back in Tarring Road again yesterday (June 9) while Explosive Ordnance Disposal officers carried out a further assessment.
Yesterday's incident (June 9) saw the road closed between the junctions of Shakespeare Road and Heene Road as a precaution.
Police said they intended to stay at the scene overnight while the assessment was completed and they would update the public regarding reopening of the road.
They have again thanked the public for their patience and understanding, however, frustrated residents who responded to the announcement on social media have asked why, when the road was closed for a full day on Wednesday (June 8), the police have now done it again, if a thorough assessment had indeed been carried out previously?
Updates to follow.
