Striking pictures show emergency crews wearing specialist clothing following the discovery of 'hazardous materials' in a house in Reddish.
Bomb disposal experts have been working on the scene on Middleton Road since yesterday (Thursday) and through the night after a major incident was declared. Photos show masked crews wearing protective suits going in and out of a house today, as a bomb disposal robot was also pictured inside the police cordon.
Police officers remain on the scene, as well as army personnel and ambulance crews. Greater Manchester Police said the house was first searched 'in response to intelligence about the manufacture of illegal fireworks'.
