A "suspicious device" found at a property in Boston has been removed by the army.

A 330ft (100m) cordon which was put in place around part of Taverner Road has been lifted and residents allowed to return to their homes.

A military explosives unit completed an examination of the device and took it away, Lincolnshire Police said.

The force added there was "no risk to the community" and thanked people for their patience during the incident.
