Alysson Marinho, who moved to England 12 years ago from Brazil, was doing work in his back garden when his friend hit metal with his spade. He was building some new decking on Saturday, July 6 when he came across the “diffused bomb about half a metre big”. Alysson, an electrician, said: “We were doing decking work in the back garden and we were digging some holes for the pillars of the decking. “My friend found some metal in the ground as he was digging, so he started to hit it and bang, bang, bang onto it. “I said jokingly, ‘this might be a bomb’ because it was a bit round, almost like a large bullet.
“We got so scared – there was a bomb in my garden.
“She rang 999 and was told to stop work until the police came, and we had to wait for the bomb squad to come over from Portsmouth.” The squad arrived and told Alysson and his builder friend to evacuate the garden into the safety of his home before cordoning off the garden to remove the bomb. Dorset Police’s spokesman said: “At 3.11pm on Saturday 6 July 2024, Dorset Police received a report from a member of public of a possible unexploded device in the garden of a property in Charminster Avenue in Bournemouth.
