NSW:Suspicious device on north shore

A major police operation is underway on Sydney's north shore following the discovery
of a suspicious device.

An 18-year-old woman called police to a house on Burrawong Avenue at Mosman around
2.30pm this afternoon.

Police aren't able to confirm reports a woman allegedly strapped a bomb to herself,
but nearby streets have been evacuated and closed while bomb squad officers examine a
suspicious device.

The Rescue Squad is at the house and has established a perimeter around it.

A command post has been set-up on the corner of Burrawong Avenue and David Street.
