Following rumours that surfaced on social media regarding a possible security threat, police in North Yorkshire have also taken to social media to quash the rumours. Last night, 23rd June, several posts on social media alleged that there had been an arrest at the train station or on a train. However, there is no record of any incident touching on security that was recorded last night according to the British Transport Police who were speaking to Yorkshire Coast Radio.
The same information has now also been confirmed by the police in North Yorkshire who used their official twitter account to tweet that the rumours on social media were unfounded and that there had been no incidents touching on security that had occurred at the said location at the said time.
