Trafalgar Square closed off after UK police find 'suspicious item'

Police in the UK said officers closed off Trafalgar Square in central London on Thursday after reports of a suspicious item found in a nearby street.
A spokesman said specialist officers were sent to the area and that nearby Charing Cross station had been closed as a precaution.
Police said cordons would be lifted soon and the incident was not believed to be terrorism-related.
British police are on high alert as millions head to the polls to vote in the general election.
Polls opened just days after three attackers killed eight people in a terrorist incident at London Bridge on Saturday night.
