A bomb discovered on an Anglesey beach was exploded over the weekend. The bomb squad confirmed it was ordnance from the Second World War and carried out a controlled explosion, at Traeth Llanddwyn, on Saturday. Rhosneigr Coastguard Rescue Team issued a statement which said: “Rhosneigr Coastguard Rescue Team along with Bangor Coastguard Rescue Team tasked to Traeth llanddwyn to check out possible ordnance washed up on to the beach by the tide. Area cordoned off to public and photos taken and sent to the Holyhead coastguard operations room and the explosive ordnance disposal unit. “The EOD shortly after arrived on scene and confirmed it as an actual ww2 ordnance and carried out a controlled detonation. After the all clear given by EOD, both coastguard rescue teams cleared up and returned to their stations.” A North Wales Police Drone Unit statement said they helped with “cordon management” at the scene while the unexploded bomb was detonated.
