POLICE said a major incident was declared after a 'substantial amount' of fireworks were found in a house.
Bomb disposal experts were scrambled to the scene on Middleton Road, Reddish, Stockport, on Thursday following the discovery. Residents were evacuated from their homes and a huge cordon was put in place.
Chief Supt John Webster yesterday spoke at a press conference from the scene as he thanked those who had been 'displaced' from their homes. He said that a 'substantial quantity of hazardous material' - an 'industrial-scale' amount of fireworks - had been uncovered and that crews were 'working really hard' to dispose of them.
