Police Investigate 'Loud Bang' Near Mosque

Several streets have been sealed off by police after residents reported hearing a loud bang near a mosque.

West Midlands Police said officers were alerted to reports of the bang in Tipton at 1.06pm and were investigating reports that nails and other debris had been found.

No injuries have been reported but a cordon has been set up in the Binfield Street area of the town, a police spokesman said.

The spokesman said: "Police have been called to Binfield Street in Tipton this afternoon following reports of a loud bang.

"A cordon has been set up and the immediate area is being evacuated as a precautionary measure while police investigate what caused it.

"Some residents have reported finding debris in the area and finding nails.

"This is being investigated by forensic officers at the scene."

Among the road closures are parts of Sedgley Road East, Dudley Port, Jays Avenue, Tudor Court, Park Lane East, Crompton Road and Victoria Road.

Anyone who saw anything suspicious in the area is urged to call police on 101 or the independent charity Crimestoppers, anonymously, on 0800 555 111.

West Midlands Police are still investigating an explosion which occurred near a mosque in the Caldmore area of Walsall on June 21.

The remains of a home-made explosive device were found on June 22 in an alleyway adjoining the Aisha Mosque and Islamic Centre in Rutter Street, Caldmore.

The earlier incident, in which no-one was injured, forced the overnight evacuation of around 150 people from their homes in the surrounding area.
