Police in Northamptonshire have been called out to deal with 63 bomb scares in the past five years, but have made only six arrests.
New figures, obtained by the Chronicle & Echo under the Freedom of Information Act, have revealed that 25 of the bomb alerts were recorded in 2007, 10 in 2008, seven in 2009, 14 in 2010 and seven last year.
In 2007, two people were arrested. A further two were held in 2008, while both 2009 and 2010 saw just one person arrested. Nobody was arrested last year in the county in connection with a bomb scare. Figures for 2012, which will include a high profile bomb alert in Bugbrooke, have not been made available.
