Video on the aftermath of the Geocaching Bomb Scare
As heard on podcacher show 327 - http://www.podcacher.com/2011/07/show-327-0-sneak-peak-video/
In West Yorkshire, a geocacher was arrested, after a nearby business reported his activity as suspicious. The police also visited the cache owner, and he was not arrested, but he was told to remove all caches in the area. The geocacher that was arrested did not have to go to court, but this will "effect his future career" - whatever that means?

Since geocaching is not illegal, I wonder if perhaps there was some additional charge that no one is aware of?
