Greek police have detonated a small bomb found at a British car dealership in a southern suburb of Athens.

The controlled explosion was carried out at the Land Rover dealership after an employee noticed a "suspicious box", said Greek police.

Authorities are on high alert following the triple bomb blasts outside a police station in the city on 5 May.

A Greek extremist group said it had carried out those attacks, criticising security for August's Olympics Games.

The latest incident happened in the same place as a false bomb alert the night before.

Police said they received an anonymous call late Tuesday of an imminent bomb attack in the area, but an extensive search produced nothing.

The area is within a kilometre (0.5 miles) of the second-largest Olympic sports complex, on the site of the city's old seaside airport.
