Explosive experts evacuated an office block after a suspect package found on a bus raised alarm.
A Kingston police spokesman said they were called to New Malden train station, where the package was found on a K1 bus at 6pm on Friday, July 29.
The spokesman said: “The Met's specialist unit that deals with explosives was called out and the suspect device was determined as railway detonators.
“The relevant railway manager was called and this incident was classified as non suspicious.”
The spokesman said that the detonators were not deemed dangerous to the general public and would have been left by a railway worker by mistake.
Cordons were put up around the area until 6.50pm and the CI Tower, a 16-storey office building adjacent to station, was evacuated as a precaution.
The police spokesman said because the incident happened on a Friday evening most workers had left the office and disruption was minimal.
