Bomb squad called to home during UK terror raids

The bomb squad has been called to a house in England’s north after four men were arrested in terror raids.

Nearby homes are being evacuated in Chesterfield, the BBC reports.

A 31-year-old man who lives at the home has been arrested on suspicion of terror offences, while three other man were arrested in Sheffield.

A neighbour said she heard an “enormous bang” during the raid, which took place at 5.30 on Tuesday morning (4.30pm AEDT).

"I was asleep and then I was woken suddenly... and the house shook,” Carol Perry said.

"My immediate thought was that it was an earthquake."

"(There) was very loud bang. It shook the house,” another neighbour added.

"I pulled the curtains and saw lots of armed men in the street, so I kept watching because that was quite extraordinary."

Police, however, said it was not an explosion, but a “loud bang” when officers entered the property.
