  • ITV News video report by Angus Walker

Police have surrounded a house in Devon after finding a suspicious device they believe is linked to an incident on the London Underground earlier this week.

A 200m cordon that was in place has been lifted and residents were evacuated from Tudor Road in Newton Abbot.

Counter-terrorism officers from the Metropolitan Police attended the address as part of enquiries into a controlled detonation which was carried out on a suspicious object at North Greenwich station, close to the O2 complex in south-east London, on Thursday.

A 19-year-old man arrested on Friday in London remains in custody.
