The items have now been taken by an Explosive Ordnance Disposal (EOD) team to be safely disposed of and the cordon which was set up at around 10:30am has now been lifted.

According to reports the Cancer Research store is likely to remain closed for the remainder of the day but the rest of the retail park remains open as normal.
