“If you ever come across anything suspicious like this item, please do not pick it up, contact your local law enforcement agency for assistance”
By Ellie Maslin
A specialist team was called to an area of the Purbecks on Thursday where an eagle-eyed resident had spotted the unexploded WW2 arterially shell. Officers from Weymouth & Portland Police also attended and have thanked the person who raised the alarm. “This was dealt with by the professionals from the Explosive Ordnance Disposal Specialist Team,” a spokesperson for the force said. ” I would just like to thank the member of the public for calling the police and waiting there until officers arrived even in the cold weather. “Please can I remind everyone that finding a device or suspected device can be extremely dangerous and you should take extreme proportions by clearing the area, alerting the police and fire service and staying far back. “Please note that the clearance distance to use electronic devices are as follows. 15 metres – mobile phones and hand-held radios 50 metres – vehicle mounted radio device. Cordon distances (National Minimum Distances) 100 metres – small items i.e. briefcase size 200 metres – larger items up to motor cars 400 metres – vans and lorries.”
