Two arrested as 'small explosive devices' made safe
Explosive Ordnance Disposal experts examined the items after police found small objects during a search and evacuated nearby homes as a precaution.
- On Friday, Essex Police forced entry into a home in Brentwood and arrested a man and a woman following reports of a neighbour dispute at 07:20 GMT.
- While searching the property, officers discovered items they claimed "required specialist assessment" from the Explosive Ordnance Disposal team, prompting a 100-metre cordon at Sawyers Grove.
- A number of homes within the 100-metre cordon were evacuated as a precaution, and the top of Sawyers Hall Lane remains closed to the public.
- Hopefield animal sanctuary directed visitors to access via Ongar Road and Highland Avenue, while locals walking by said "no one has any idea what is going on."
- The situation remains ongoing as police will provide updates, with officers also cordoning off a pathway leading to Merrymeade Country Park.
