Bomb experts called over 'suspicious item'

People were advised to avoid the Ashworth Close area

Residents have been allowed to return home after a suspicious item led to several properties on a Nottingham street being evacuated.

Nottinghamshire Police said the evacuation was a precaution following the discovery of the item in Ashworth Close in Bakersfield on Friday.

The force said it worked with partners, including Explosive Ordnance Disposal engineers to "safely resolve the incident".

No further details were shared but Sgt Dave Wardle thanked residents for their patience and understanding.
