Liverpool attacker’s neighbours describe armed police response

Kensington and Sefton Park residents relate very, very frightening' scenes of bomb squad searches and evacuation

• Liverpool hospital blast declared a terrorist incident
• How have you been affected by the Liverpool explosion?

Sharon Cullen has lived in Boaler Street in Kensington, Liverpool for 18 years and knows many of her neighbours. But the only detail she could recall of the residents of 2 Sutcliffe Street, which backs on to her house, was that one young man used to spend hours on a PC, highlighted in a window with no curtains or blinds.

The address, a red painted brick end-of-terrace, with a bay window, has been surrounded by police since early afternoon on Sunday, when they eventually made three arrests, and a further one on Monday morning.
