“If you ever come across anything suspicious like this item, please do not pick it up, contact your local law enforcement agency for assistance”
An UNEXPLODED device was found this afternoon (12 September) during a house clearance in Redlynch. Police were called to The Row in Redlynch at midday after Tony Rice Clearance Service employees found the explosive. Tidworth Troop 721 EOD Squadron took the device, believed to be a Second World War German 1 kilo incendiary bomb, away for disposal and police left the scene just after 4pm. Tony Rice had been doing house clearance for 29 years and said he has “never found anything like a bomb” in that time. While Mr Rice was clearing the property at The Row he was asked to look at something found in the garage that was causing concern. He said: “I looked at it and thought it looked like a bomb. That’s when I contacted the police.” A spokesperson for Wiltshire Police said: “We were called to an address in Redlynch at midday today following the discovery of what is thought to be an unexploded device.”
Bomb disposal team arrived to take it away
An updated statement from Wiltshire Police said: “EOD have attended and removed the device, which was empty.” An MOD spokesperson said: “We can confirm an Army Explosive Ordnance Disposal team was called out to Redlynch at the request of local police.” A team from 11 EOD&S REGT RLC responded and the item was safely removed by bomb disposal experts.
