“If you ever come across anything suspicious like this item, please do not pick it up, contact your local law enforcement agency for assistance”

The bomb squad were called to a street after a “grenade was found in a shed by a young boy”. Cops were also called to the scene in Brookland Road, Stoke-on-Trent, yesterday (June 1). Locals spotted police tape and cop cars around the area. Officers were called to a property with the Explosive Ordnance Disposal (EOD) team dispatched to the scene. A Staffordshire Police spokeswoman told StokeonTrentLive : “We are currently in attendance at an address on Brookland Road following reports that an item, believed to be an historic hand grenade, has been found in an outbuilding. As a precautionary measure, a cordon has been set up around the immediate area. The Explosive Ordnance Disposal (EOD) team are in attendance and will be carrying out a controlled explosion shortly. Officers are updating local residents at the scene.” Eye-witnesses said a boy had found the device but this is yet to be confirmed. One woman said: “The police are in Tunstall because a grenade has been found. It’s been taped off and the Army is on its way. A 12-year-old boy found it in a shed.” An Army spokeswoman said: “We can confirm an Army Explosive Ordnance Disposal team was called out to Stoke-on-Trent, at the request of Staffordshire Police. The item, a Grenade Hand No36, was safely destroyed by bomb disposal experts.”
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.
