North Wales Police is investigating the security alert

A man arrested in connection to a "hoax call" at a north Wales hospital has been released without charge.

North Wales Police said the 33-year-old is no longer a suspect.

Patients were asked not to attend Wrexham Maelor Hospital on Thursday due to a security alert following a report of a suspicious package.

Movement of staff and patients was restricted and people urged not to attend planned appointments while police carried out a search.

Access restrictions to the 800-bed district general hospital were lifted later on Thursday and police said investigations are continuing.
