Armed police in negotiations with man in north London over “hazardous items”
Police have responded to an incident in Northolt and evacuated 80 people "after a report of concerns for the occupant and hazardous items inside the property".
Authorities have not entered the house and are currently in negotiations with the one man believed to be inside the property.
"Whilst it is not known what the man has inside the property, police are treating seriously reports that the items could be dangerous and that attempts have been made by the man to prevent access to the address.
"There is no suggestion that this incident is terrorist related, nor is it linked to any other ongoing investigation or operation," the Metropolitan police said in a statement.
Officers originally were called to the house just before 1am this morning.
