Anyone hear anything about a bomb scare in Birmingham?

[ItWillNeverWork]

My brother was coming home from work and the the trains were cancelled because of a bomb in Erdington apparently. Can''t seem to get any information on the tinterweb or other media though. Anyone know what happened?

Found something. It appears it was some guy with too many fireworks in his house.

What are they doing, getting stores to flag up 'suspicious' fireworks purchases now? There were arrests in Plymouth yesterday or the day before weren't there?

I think the OB are getting the wrong end of the stick with this whole Guy Fawkes thing, tbh.

there were 2 helicopters out, and roads/trains closed

I was told something that didnt make any sense fireworks would explain it
