Officers closed off Glynwed Court, Bainsford, last Friday from the early hours of the morning to just after noon.

During this time, members of the Royal Logistic Corps Bomb Disposal

carried out a careful investigation in a second floor flat.

Police arrived at the property at 1 a.m. after they received a missing person report.

They found the man in question, but then discovered chrystalised substances in several unmarked containers which they feared may have been explosive.
