A bomb squad was called to a suspected unexploded Second World War mortar that was discovered in a basement. The historic device was found in a property near the Isleham Marina in Mildenhall on the Cambridgeshire-Suffolk border on Monday morning. An explosive ordnance disposal team from Colchester was dispatched to the scene and police put a 50 metre cordon around the site. The device was safely removed on Monday afternoon and all residents were able to return to their homes. The specialist team said it was a “substitute” device, meaning that it posed no risk to the public.
If you find anything that appears to be an explosive device, do not touch it, leave it where it is and call the police. We will contact the appropriate agencies to properly dispose of the item.
