A number of roads which were closed over reports of a 'suspicious package' inside a residential property in Carrington have reopened. A cordon was set up for several hours on Friday (April 7) and Mansfield Road was shut in both directions. A number of properties in the vicinity were also evacuated.
More than a dozen vehicles were parked on the outskirts of the cordon, which included Carrington's Lidl supermarket, whilst people staying at the nearby Mercure Hotel were told they were not able to go inside. Nottinghamshire Police were first called to the scene at around 1pm on Friday but, in a update late that evening, the force confirmed no suspicious package had been found.
