Update: Gas leak repaired

Tenants at a Lincoln complex are returning to their apartments after the source of a gas smell was pinpointed and sealed.

Police said a caller complaining of a gas smell came just before 9:30 this morning from an apartment at the complex on 25 Spring St. in the Manville section of town.
About 10 residents were evacuated.

A National Grid technician found the source: a loose connector on the back of a stove unit. The gas was turned off, and the technician replaced the faulty is connector, according to spokesman David Graves.

The building was vented and residents were allowed to return to their apartments. The technician is manually relighting pilot lights in each unit.
