A man has appeared in court today charged with sending a suspicious package to a Covid vaccine factory that halted production for up to five hours.
Emergency services were called after staff raised the alarm and all workers had to be evacuated from the Wockhardt site in Wrexham, North Wales, on Wednesday as the package was investigated.
A spokesman for Kent Police said Anthony Collins, of Chatham, had been charged with dispatching an article by post with the intention of inducing the belief it was likely to explode or ignite.
He appeared at Medway Magistrates Court on Saturday and was remanded in custody, the spokesman said.
