A stand was evacuated at Exeter City after reports of a fire.

The old Stagecoach stand was at the centre of the drama.

At first it was reported as a fire drill. 

However, it has since emerged that a smoke grenade caused the alert.

The game, against Carlisle United, was halted for more than an hour.

It ended 2-2.

The club said police made an arrest at the stadium and have taken the suspect into custody.
