A 28-year-old man has been arrested after a bomb disposal unit removed “unexploded pyrotechnics” from a Dundee property.
Police carried out a raid on a house on Ambleside Avenue in the Kirkton area of the city on Monday.
The devices were found inside the property, with police putting up a cordon covering several houses.
Just before 1pm – several hours after the raid began – a bomb disposal unit arrived at the scene.
A cordon was set up round the corner from Caird View Nursery, near the junction with Coniston Terrace.
The 28-year-old was later arrested in connection with drugs offences.
One onlooker said: “I was fairly surprised to see the bomb disposal van.
“There are two soldiers here at the moment and they’re liaising with police.
“They seem to be at a flat on the street and they’ve gone in with a fire extinguisher.”
A Police Scotland spokesperson said: “Around 8.20am on Monday, a warrant was executed at a property in Ambleside Avenue, Dundee.
“Unexploded pyrotechnics were found. An Explosive Ordinance Disposal (EOD) team was in attendance.
“The pyrotechnics were removed safely by EOD.
“The road has re-opened. There was no wider threat to the community
“A 28-year-old man was arrested in connection with drugs offences.
“Enquiries are ongoing.”
