A spokesman for Nottingham Trent University said staff worked with Notts Police on the incident.

The case is outside 50 Shakespeare Street, a Grade II listed building bought by the university in 2014 and converted into offices and meeting rooms for administration.

It was later removed by police and found to contain nothing suspicious.
