One local said: "I thought once they left that would be it but now a fire engine has arrived and more people."
The response unit pulled into Milnbank Street which has been cordoned off since 3.30pm so that personnel could deal with a 'suspicious package'.
A helicopter continued to circle over the East End as fire crews waited with cops, who were still directing traffic away from Alexandra Parade.
