A bomb disposal unit has arrived on the Isle of Man and is currently en route to Port Erin under a police escort, following the discovery of suspicious items at a property in the Pairk Beg area.
The unit arrived via the Manannan ferry from Liverpool earlier today, after local police cordoned off the scene at the property. As specialists examined the items, authorities decided to evacuate residential properties within a 100-meter radius as a precautionary measure.
Local authorities are urging residents to remain calm and follow any instructions from the emergency services as they continue to handle the situation. Updates are expected as the bomb disposal team assesses the scene.
No further details have been released regarding the nature of the suspicious items at this time, but the situation remains under close watch as authorities work to ensure public safety.
