A second person has been arrested after more than 100 homes were evacuated in a former pit village as an Army bomb squad was deployed following the discovery of “a number of suspicious items” at a property.

South Yorkshire Police said around 130 homes near to the address in Grimethorpe, Barnsley, were evacuated on Wednesday morning after police executed a warrant on Brierley Road.

On Wednesday a large number of emergency services personnel and vehicles were still in the village, focused on a Royal Logistics Corps bomb disposal truck, which had a robot vehicle positioned next to it.

A force spokesman earlier said: “Around 130 homes are being evacuated while emergency services continue their response after a number of suspicious items were found at an address on Brierley Road following a warrant this morning.”

People said the police activity was focused on a nearby disused church building and adjoining house, which has been in the process of being renovated for a number of years. Chelsey Woollard, who lives just outside the cordon, said: “Never in Grimethorpe. Even from being a young child.

“It was a beautiful village and this has come as a shock – not just to me but the whole village as well.” Ms Woollard said she is a carer for her father and panicked as she tried to work out how to get to his home on the other side of the cordon.

She said: “It was a big shocker. There was a lot of ambulances, fire brigade, up and down the road all day.”

She added the village was full of rumours about what has been happening in the house. Another man, watching the police activity, said: “You don’t get this very often here.

The 100-metre cordon established by the force has now been reduced to 60 metres and residents living outside the new cordon have been allowed to return home, police said.
