Explosions Carried Out On Suspicious Car

A bomb disposal team has carried out a number of controlled explosions on a suspicious car in a Bristol street.

Police were called to Cassell Road, in the Fishponds area of the city, around 4am.

Officers said the car smelt strongly of fuel and could be linked to "an ongoing dispute".

A 200-metre cordon has been set up and around 460 homes evacuated, with many residents moved to a rest centre set up at a nearby school.

A spokesman for Avon and Somerset Police said: "The Explosive Ordnance Disposal team was called to the scene and carried out several controlled explosions on the vehicle.

"This is a normal operational response to incidents of this nature."

Completing their search of the vehicle, police said there was no indication of explosives being found inside the car.

However, there remains a large police presence while officers continue their investigations.

It means residents have been unable to return to their homes.

Chief Superintendent Geoff Spicer said: "At this stage we believe this is an isolated incident and could be linked to an ongoing dispute and we are progressing with lines of enquiry."

He added: "We are hoping to get all the affected residents back into their homes as soon as possible and I would like to reiterate my sincere thanks and gratitude to residents for their support and assistance.

"I am heartened by the local community's response and I have seen residents, local businesses and the local school all helping each other out.

"As the investigation is continuing, I would encourage anyone who saw or heard anything suspicious in the Cassell Road area yesterday (Friday) evening, or the early hours of this morning, to come forward."
