Police monitor 131 people who may have been exposed to the nerve agent in Salisbury after Russia’s spy attack

A TOTAL of 131 people are being monitored by police for possible exposure to the nerve agent in Russia’s spy attack, it emerged last night.

None has developed any symptoms so far, Wiltshire’s Deputy Chief Constable Paul Mills told a public meeting.

Det Sgt Nick Bailey, seriously ill from exposure after racing to help the two targets, was visited in hospital by Theresa May yesterday.

Mr Mills said he is stable.

The investigation involves 200 military staff, 220 police and 250 specialists, he added.

Mrs May yesterday went to the bench where the victims lay slumped in Salisbury.

She told the first cops on the scene, PCs Alex Collins and Alex Way: “Thank you.

“You did what police do daily. A routine call and you don’t know what’s there. You did a great job.”
