Local bus service, Stagecoach East revealed on an ongoing incident has prevented services in Serpentine Green. They said in a tweet: "Due to an ongoing incident at Tesco Hampton, we are unable to serve Serpentine Green. We apologise for any inconvenience this may have caused."

       The bus service caters for Bedfordshire and Cambridgeshire seven days a week.

       But the incident meant services could not carry on this evening.

       Phillip Whitley also claimed the police's bomb squad had arrived at the scene on Burmer Road.

       He added: "Why has the Bomb Squad just arrived at Burmer Road, Peterborough?"

       Express.co.uk has approached Tesco for clarification.

       Jake Gardiner also added that a "suspicious package" had caused the evacuation.

       He said: "Hampton Tesco evacuated due to suspicious package apparently."
