People return home after explosives scare
BBCPeople have been able to return to their homes after police said a suspect device was found not to be explosive.
The item was discovered when officers were called to a property on Saxon Court in Leegomery, Telford on Tuesday, West Mercia Police said.
A 100m cordon was put in place and surrounding homes were evacuated as a precaution while an explosives disposal team made a full assessment.
