“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 Jonathan Humphries & Hannah Mackenzie Wood
A couple were forced to evacuate their house after discovering two devices believed to be Second World War bombs hidden in their attic. Anthony Smith, 51, was measuring the chimney breast in the loft of the family home on Agincourt Street, West Derby this evening (January 6) when he came across the strange package. The chemical plant worker took his find – enclosed in a ‘Dinky Rolls’ bread wrapper – to show his wife, Clare Smith, and set it on top of the kitchen counter. Speaking to the Liverpool Echo, civil servant Claire said she “backed away quite quickly” after realising what was inside. Claire said: “They’re two Second World War incendiary devices; we know what they are because the guy who we bought the house from left a note with them. “They dropped on Liverpool during the Blitz in 1941. He found them on the grounds of Hatton Garden police station, as he was a police sergeant. “He took them home and put them in the loft and they have been there for 80 years.”
