An Aberdeen street is cordoned off this morning after a bomb scare last night.

It happened at a former council building on Springhill Road, near Sheddocksley Sports Centre.

The police were called to a suspected break in, and found a suspicious item.

The bomb squad were called in from Edinburgh, but after checking it out they were stood down.

Police say the road's still closed, but there's no threat to the wider community and no need to evacuate local residents.

One male has been detained.
