Trio released after bomb alert at Sheffield house

Police spent yesterday and Saturday evening searching a home on Abbey Lane, in Beauchief, after receiving a tip-off that there may be an improvised explosive device present.

Police this morning said one man had been released on bail and the other two people were released under investigation.

A cordon was yesterday in place around the house, with three police vans and two squad cars stationed outside for much of the day.

It is understood searches at the address were due to conclude last night, but police have yet to confirm today whether they have now been completed.
