About 40 homes in Brentwood , Essex , have been evacuated and a 100-metre cordon established following the discovery of suspicious items at a property.

Essex Police were called to Sawyers Grove at about 7.20 am on Friday following reports of a neighbourhood dispute involving damage to a door.

A man and a woman were arrested after officers forced entry to an address, and both remain in police custody.

Explosive ordnance disposal experts and a bomb disposal robot were called to the scene to assess the suspicious items.

Displaced residents have been advised to go to a temporary rendezvous point at King George’s Playing Fields Pavilion while emergency services work at the site.
