Metal detectorist Mark Williams, 51, found the bomb on a grass bank near his brother’s home in Swaythling, Hampshire. He took it home and advertised it on eBay as ‘WWII German incendiary bomb – genuine, authentic Southampton Blitz. Condition: Used.’ The advert was spotted by Militaria collector Ralf Sherwin, 46, who immediately contacted Mr Williams to warn him of the danger he was in. But he claims his message was ignored by the seller so he contacted the police
Un 51-enne, mediante il suo metal detector, in un campo situato nel Quartiere di Swaythling trova una granata inesplosa risalente alla seconda guerra mondiale, di fabbricazione tedesca e del tipo incendiario. L’uomo non allerta la Polizia, ma su eBay mette in vendita la granata. Un collezionista di cimeli storici allerta di 51-enne che ha tra le mani qualcosa di “molto pericoloso”, ma l’uomo incoscientemente non ascolta il consiglio e al collezionista storico non resta che segnalare tutto alla Polizia.
