Officers are expected to remain at an address in Urchfont Way, Penhill, over the coming days following the discovery of suspicious items.
The items were found during a planned warrant at the house yesterday.
Due to the nature of the items located and in the interests of public safety, the fire service and Explosive Ordnance Disposal (EOD) were called to the scene.
A small cordon is in place at the house, but no other addresses have been evacuated and we do not believe there is any risk to the wider public.
Our enquiries are ongoing and no arrests have been made at this stage.
Detective Inspector Paul Franklin said: “We anticipate there will be a continued police presence at the house over the coming days while we carry out our investigation.
“I know this will be concerning for people living in the area but please be reassured that there is nothing to suggest any risk to the local community.
“We will provide updates as and when we can.
“Thank you in advance for your co-operation and patience.”
