Residents flee and police descend on terraced street as 'grenades' found at home

Emergency services stormed a quiet Salford street after objects believed to be grenades were found inside a terraced house. Dozens of residents were evacuated from Bridgewater Street, in Little Hulton, as the bomb squad was called out to assess the scene today (October 26).

Police were called out at 11am and taped off the street in the early afternoon, urging residents to flee their homes. Fire crews and ambulances also rushed out to the scene, off Manchester Road East.

As the hours ticked on, residents were eager to return. Cheryl Platt stood patiently by the police tape alongside her dog Ella.
