Police say an incident which led to a street being cordoned off and armed officers in Bridgnorth is not related to terrorism.
Extra police were patrolling the streets of Bridgnorth and people asked to stay inside buildings whilst others were evacuated following an incident where a vehicle failed to stop for officers.
Police are continuing to search for two individuals after a white Peugeot collided with a car on Bridgnorth High Street and a building on Waterloo Terrace, before being found abandoned in Castle Street.
Inspector Paul Mathison from West Mercia Police said: "I would like to reassure the local community that they are in no danger and this is not in any way related to terrorism. I would also like to thank the public for their patience whilst officers carried out searches in the local area."
A police cordon on Whitburn Street has been lifted.
Members of the public are advised to call police if they see anyone behaving suspiciously in the area and are asked to call 101, quoting incident number 190s of 7 June if they witnessed the collision.
