An investigation of a Tarring Road property on Friday was part of an ongoing investigation, a police spokesperson has said.

Police first attended the address at around 9am on Wednesday (June 9), following reports of the discovery of a suspicious package.

The same day, the Explosive Ordinance Disposal team was called and safely destroyed the package.

A 52-year-old man was arrested on suspicion of possession of a firearm and has since been released on conditional bail. The area around Tarring Road was closed as a precautionary measure, but reopened at 10.10pm.
