Chemical alert leads to controlled explosion in Suffolk-residents now back in their homes.

Thirty homes were evacuated at Woodbridge in Suffolk today (Weds) after police discovered unknown chemicals at a property on the town's Bridgewood Road.

The alarm was raised by officers carrying out a search.

A 50 metre cordon was set up around the building with people living nearby having to leave their homes.

The army’s Explosive Ordnance Disposal team went to the scene.

They removed an item from the premises and carried out a controlled explosion.

The cordon has now been lifted and people have been allowed back into their homes
