It follows fresh arrests and raids being carried out linked to Monday's suicide bombing.

Residents in around a dozen streets were told to stay indoors as armed officers and a forensics team investigated a house in Boscombe Street.

Nicholas Turner, a 20-year-old student who also works in the warehouse at the Manchester Arena, said police and the Army had been in the area since around 9am.

He said: "This morning we saw a couple of police down the road and within minutes there was a bomb disposal team. I asked them why all the streets were cordoned off because I need to get to work.
