Yesterday (Wednesday, June 11), a bomb disposal unit attended New Dock Road as part of an ongoing police operation.
A 100-metre cordon was put in place for public safety before a 57-year-old man was arrested on suspicion of offences under The Explosive Substances Act.
A spokesperson for Dyfed-Powys Police said: “Officers have now left the scene at New Dock Road, Llanelli.
“We want to again thank the local community for their patience and understanding while the incident was brought to a safe conclusion yesterday evening.
“A 57-year-old man, from Llanelli, remains in police custody as the investigation continues.”
The cordon caused surrounding roads to close such as Trinity Terrace, Trinity Road, Copperworks Road, New Dock Road, Marged Street.
Residents within the cordon were contacted directly by officers and a rest centre was set up at Llanelli Leisure Centre to support those affected by the disruption.
During the incident, members of the public were also advised to avoid the area and stay informed via official police channels.
Meanwhile, the device found at the address was made safe, and police have confirmed there is no wider threat to the public.
Residents who had been asked to leave their properties were then told they could return home, and all roads were reopened.
Chief Inspector Dominic Jones has thanked the community for their support and no injuries have been reported in connection with the incident.
