Reports claimed Interpol, the world's largest police organisation, raised the alarm following the theft of a lorry in the city of Zedelgem, Belgium.

However, after being contacted by express.co.uk, the organisations said the INTERPOL General Secretariat has not issued any alert in relation to a truck stolen in Belgium.

It is thought the chemicals could be used to produce explosives and authorities are keen to recover the truck as quickly as possible.

According to Spanish reporter Laura Alonso, the truck was carrying a volatile substance known as "Radiacid".

The trailer reportedly has a registration number of 1-QEB-708 and is believed to be black.
