Two Suspects Bailed as Derbyshire Police Probe Explosives at Derby Address

Police classify the case under the Explosives Act 1875, not terrorism.

Overview

  • Officers executed a warrant on December 4 in the Vulcan Street and Vulcan Road area of Normanton after receiving intelligence about materials at a property.
  • About 200 homes were evacuated as a precaution, and residents were allowed to return after the cordon was lifted on Friday night.
  • All materials recovered from the address have been removed and are securely stored, and police say there is no wider risk to the public.
  • Forensic testing is under way and described as time-consuming, and a scene remains in place at the property during ongoing inquiries.
  • The arrested men, Polish nationals in their 40s and 50s, have been released on strict police bail to other addresses as multi-agency teams supported displaced residents.
