The "suspicious" package which led to an RAF Coningsby's parade parade through Boston being cancelled on Thursday turned out to be a phone box air freshener.
A bomb disposal team exploded the black BT device, which was spotted in a 'phone box in Market Place, member of the public.
BT said air fresheners had been installed in enclosed phone boxes for years without problems.
A spokesman said: "Unfortunately neither the police nor the Bomb Disposal Team recognised what it was. It was something we'd never encountered before."
Aren't our police wonderful!
