Three men have been released after roads were sealed and homes evacuated due to “suspicious items”.
Cheshire Constabulary said officers were called to an address on Hale Road in Widnes at 7pm on Friday evening. A force spokesman said this followed a report from North West Ambulance Service that “suspicious items” had been spotted while attending a “call for help”.
Police set up a cordon near the junction of Lovel Terrace and properties were evacuated. Officers arrested three men who have since been bailed pending enquiries.
