M25 closed following police incident

A section of the M25 was closed on the Kent/Surrey border earlier following a police incident, according to National Highways.

The motorway was shut in both directions between junction five for Sevenoaks in Kent and junction six for Godstone in Surrey at about 17:30 BST, Surrey Police said.

It has since been reopened, a police spokesperson said.

Traffic was clearing, the travel monitoring site INRIX reported just after 19:30 BST.
