Police squads in chemical boiler suits have raided a suspected crystal meth factory in Paddington.

Roads were closed and examination tents erected after barrels of chemicals were found in a property. A man has been arrested.

Bomb feared

Originally cops thought the man was making a chemical weapon, or 'dirty bomb' - using the house as a bomb factory.

José Eduardo Vieira, 29, will appear before Westminster Magistrates charged with producing a class A drug.
