Residents of a Hinckley street were faced with the sight of the bomb squad after a hand grenade in an attic was reported to the police. The weapon, which had lain undisturbed in the bag for more than 60 years, was uncovered by Bronwen Forsythe while she was clearing out the attic of her Aulton Way home. The family had known about the small grenade, in an old RAF kit bag belonging to Bronwen’s late husband, David, for decades, but doubts about how safe it was had troubled Bronwen throughout.

Distretto Hinckley and Bosworth, Città Hinckley. Artificieri intervengono in una casa situata in Aulton Way a causa di una bomba a mano inserita in un borsa e conservata in soffitta. In realtà tutti i componenti della famiglia per tanti anni si sono lamentati di quella pericolosa presenza, ma il capofamiglia (reduce di guerra) ha sempre tranquillizzato i famigliari. Una triste sera l’uomo raggiunge i suoi commilitoni caduti in guerra e dopo qualche tempo figlio e madre ricordandosi della borsa contenente la bomba decidono di allertare la Polizia. Sul posto giungono gli artificieri i quali esaminano la granata che risulta priva di spoletta, ma carica d’esplosivo. Quindi per ragioni di sicurezza gli artificieri allontanano i presenti e rimuovono la bomba.
