Footage of armed police raiding a house in Fallowfield, Manchester in relation to the Manchester Arena attack which occurred on May 22 and killed 22 people.

The video, shot earlier today, shows armed police officers walking on Elsmore road, Manchester and approaching one of houses.

Police confirmed that a controlled explosion took place during the raid and that the operation was part of the investigation into last night's attack.

Suicide bomber Salman Abedi is believed to have travelled to Syria before returning to the UK to cause carnage at the arena.

The Abedi family home was on Elsmore Road and he is thought to have lived there until 2016.

I'm not sure if it's connected to last nights events, but more than likely. There was an extremely loud explosion that brought me and my brother to my feet, we ran out into the street to see 50/70 bomb disposal, mi5 and riot police raiding a house on elsmore road, police started ushering people away while keeping arms aimed towards the house, all surrounding roads are now closed.
