A man has been charged with a bomb hoax after an incident outside the US embassy last week.

Police were called to the embassy in Nine Elms, south London, at 8.40am on Friday 22 November, to reports of a suspicious package.

Officers attended and a controlled explosion was carried out.

Daniel Parmenter, 43, was arrested on Sunday after a search of his home address.

Parmenter, of Kildare Terrace, Bayswater, in west London, appeared at Ealing Magistrates' Court on Monday.

He is next due to appear in court at the Old Bailey on 23 December.

There are no current links between this investigation and any similar incidents of reported suspicious packages in recent days, the Metropolitan Police said.
