Police investigate bomb threat during Amanda Abbington’s performance in London

Police are investigating a bomb threat directed at a theatre in Finsbury Park, where actress Amanda Abbington was performing in the play 'When It Happens To You.' The threat was reportedly sent via email, prompting immediate action from the police, who were alerted around 10:00hrs on Monday, 12 August. Officers are treating the threat seriously and are working to determine if it is linked to previous malicious communications. Jez Bond, the artistic director of the Park Theatre, confirmed the bomb threat and stated that the theatre is cooperating fully with the police investigation. The sender of the threat attempted to create a false account but did not disguise their IP address, which gives police hope of identifying the individual responsible. The safety of everyone involved with the theatre remains a top priority. Amanda Abbington, who has faced numerous threats and abuse since her time on 'Strictly,' was reportedly shaken by the recent threats but remained committed to completing her performances. A friend mentioned that the specific nature of the threats made her eager to assist the police in their investigation. Following the opening night of her show, Abbington was interviewed by police on two occasions. Specialist officers have been analyzing the email closely and believe they are nearing the identification of its source. They are collaborating with another police force to track down the individual behind the threat, emphasizing the seriousness and credibility of the situation. Authorities have assured Abbington that they will do everything possible to uncover the identity of the sender.
