“If you ever come across anything suspicious like this item, please do not pick it up, contact your local law and/or enforcement agency for assistance”.
Police were called to New Mills on Saturday after the device was found and a 100m (330ft) cordon was put in place. The Army’s Explosive Ordnance Disposal Team (EOD) attended the scene and determined the grenade was safe. The cordon was lifted at about 16:30 GMT. Officers urged people to always call 999 if they find an item resembling an explosive. A police spokesman said: “Thank you to all members of the public who spoke to our officers on the cordon for their understanding and we apologise for any disturbance caused. “It is common for families of war veterans to find these unexpected souvenirs, a lot of service members either bought them home from the war or purchased them later. “However, devices like the one below can remain intact for decades and explode without notice.”
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.
