Boy, 15, Held In 'Explosives' Find
A 15-year-old has been arrested after suspected explosive substances were discovered at a property in Hull.
A 49-year-old woman and 56-year-old man were also arrested.
Army bomb disposal experts were called to a terraced council home in Kilnsea Grove on Sunday following a tip-off. Police, firefighters and paramedics were also in attendance.
The incident saw a number of families evacuated from their homes as a precautionary measure.
In a statement, a spokesperson for Humberside Police said: "Agencies recovered substances from an address on Kilnsea Grove this afternoon, which were taken to a site in Hull to be disposed of safely.
"The substances have been made safe and seized as evidence. No one was injured."
Detective Inspector Jason Gourley said: "We have arrested three people who are currently assisting us with our enquiries in connection with substances believed to be at a property on Kilnsea Grove.
"We are working closely with our partner agencies to ensure the area is safe for the local community, which is why we have put a cordon in place.
"We appreciate that many people of Kilnsea Grove would have been inconvenienced when they were asked to evacuate their homes, so we would like to thank them for their patience, whilst we conducted enquiries and made the area safe for them to return.
"The evacuation was necessary in order to ensure every local resident was safe during the investigation, which was our top priority."
The authority added that they believe it is an "isolated incident" and is not "connected to any terrorist organisations."
