People allowed to return home as evacuation ends

Residents have been allowed to return home after the discovery of suspicious items prompted an evacuation earlier.

Cambridgeshire Police said officers were carrying out a warrant at a property on Welland Close in St Ives early on Monday morning when they came across the items.

Specialist explosive ordinance disposal officers were deployed, a 100m (328ft) cordon was put in place and a road closed, which has since reopened.

Police said a man arrested in connection with the warrant was in custody and officers would remain at the property while searches continued.
