A bomb squad was called to a Leeds street over the weekend after a “suspicious object” was found.
Police were called to Tinshall Close on Saturday (June 13) afternoon following the discovery of the item near a car park. Officers brought in help from the Army Explosives Ordnance Disposal team, and a cordon was put in place.
A spokesperson for West Yorkshire Police explained: “Police were called to Tinshill Close, Leeds at about 1.10pm today (Saturday, June 13) to a report that a suspicious object had been found.
“Officers attended and located the object near the car parking area at the bottom of Tinshill Close.
