A bomb squad has been sighted deploying an explosive ordnance disposal (EOD) robot on a quiet residential street in Troon.
Emergency services were called to Burnfoot Avenue in the seaside Ayrshire town shortly after 4pm on Thursday. Images from the scene showed multiple police vehicles and a bomb disposal truck parked in the street.
A cordon has been established in the street as police and the EOD unit respond to the call, which relates to a suspicious package in an outhouse behind one of the homes in the street. South Ayrshire Council is supporting residents who have been evacuated from their homes.
