Residents were forced out of their homes after a 'suspicious item' was uncovered at a house in Longsight on Wednesday (January 8).

An explosion was carried out after police uncovered the item, thought to have been a grenade, after raiding a house on Fencot Drive.

Homeowners were evacuated with just minutes notice as bomb disposal teams, police and fire crews raced to the incident at around 7.50am.

A teenage boy, aged 17, was arrested on suspicion of being concerned in the supply of Class A drugs. It is not yet clear how the suspicious device is linked with the drugs offences.
