Officers from Macclesfield Local Policing Unit are currently assisting EOD with a controlled explosion which is set to be carried out in the Dean Row area of Wilmslow today (Thursday, 27th July).
This is taking place following the recovery of a quantity of historic ammunition in a garage in Wilmslow following a family death.
Inspector Andrew Blizzard from Cheshire Police said "I would like to reassure local residents that there are no suspicious circumstances surrounding this incident and there is no risk to the public, although residents are advised that they may hear a large noise whilst this is carried out.
"It will be carried out in a safe location off Browns Lane, Wilmslow, and as a precautionary measure a 200 metre cordon will be in place."
