Emergency services were called to reports of a “suspect device” in Chesterfield yesterday – which saw properties evacuated and a man arrested.

Derbyshire Police attended a property in Lansdowne Road, Brimington just after 10.00am on Tuesday, September 26 – after a suspect device was uncovered.

As a result of the discovery, a number of residents were evacuated from their homes for their own safety. They were, however, allowed to return to their properties a short time later.
