But whilst in Subway, the bomb disposal turned up and police closed Wellington Road. “Then, around five to 10 mins later, there was a loud bang.
Not enough to shake any glass, but it was loud enough to echo around the buildings.” In an update today, Greater Manchester Police said the device was 'destroyed as a precaution' . "There is believed to be no further risk to the community," a spokesperson for the force added. "No arrests have been made and the investigation has been closed."
