Life imitating art?

It's freaky, but my new novel features the events that happen in and around a major sporting event.  Then this happens...

Police believe the dramatic bomb scare at Old Trafford today was an ‘elaborate hoax’.

The alarm was raised by a member of the club’s staff who discovered a suspicious device, believed to be a phone attached to a pipe, in the north west quadrant of ground.

About 50,000 supporters were evacuated from the ground once the alarm was raised some 15 minutes before kick-off for the match against Bournemouth.

Army bomb disposal experts were scrambled to the ground and they located the device and carried out a controlled explosion.

An initial examination of the remains of that explosion leads police to believe that the scare was an ‘elaborate hoax’, the M.E.N. understands.

Police tweeted that it was ‘incredibly lifelike explosive device’.
