Homes near to a mosque in Walsall are being evacuated following the discovery of a suspicious item, West Midlands Police say.
Army bomb disposal experts are currently at the scene and have this morning ordered the evacuation of around 39 homes in the immediate vicinity of the mosque.
The measure is precautionary while a further examination of the item is undertaken.
Police were called to the Rutter Street address at around 10.45pm last night following the discovery in the grounds of the building.
The item was then brought inside the building by a member of the public, police said.
The area has been cordoned off.
"People in the affected area and who are unable to make alternative arrangements are being taken to Walsall Town Hall where they will be cared for," a police statement said.
Meanwhile, local officers remain at the scene and are talking to residents to keep them up-to-date with the incident and offer reassurance.
