Police have said the evacuation of 50 people from a Derbyshire town because of fears of a bomb is "expected to be a false alarm".

An Army bomb disposal team was called to Broadleys, near Victoria Street, in Clay Cross earlier this morning.

Residents were taken to the Sharley Park Leisure Centre in the early hours of Wednesday.

Roads within 100m (328ft) were closed but Derbyshire Police said they expect to get the all-clear "very soon".

'Absolute pandemonium'

Residents said the inquiries related to a Vauxhall Astra which was parked near Victoria Street.

Darren Murray, operations manager at local business SDL Minorfern, said: "We arrived at 07:00 BST to absolute pandemonium.

"There are police cars, vans and bomb disposal cars everywhere."

He added staff from the company, which distributes car parts, had advised the bomb disposal team how to get into the vehicle.

"The car is parked behind the back of our head office and it's believed to be full of petrol cans," he said. "We lent tools to the army disposal unit and showed them how they would get into the vehicle.

"It's been a big surprise to all our staff - it's been a big shock."
