Following an incident in Charles Road, Durrington, yesterday afternoon, the emergency services response has been stood down after tests were found to be negative.
The road was closed and a cordon was put in place when a man reported to be ill after coming into contact with a substance.
The ambulance service assessed a man in his 40s at the scene and did not require hospital treatment.
The cordon, which was put in place at the address on Charles Road, was lifted in the early hours of Saturday morning (29th March).
Chief Inspector Graham McLaughlin said: “We appreciate the concern this incident has had in the community given the recent history and please be assured that the report was taken extremely seriously.
“Testing has been found to be negative and as a result the response and cordon has been lifted.
“I would like to thank specialist resources which came to assist from out of county for their time.
“I would also like to thank our partners in the Fire and Ambulance services for their support, and the public and local residents in Durrington for their patience while this incident was dealt with.”
