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

Six “highly volatile” detonators and one stick of dynamite were found by builder Shane Rose while he was quoting work on a wall at The New Inn, Amesbury. The 47-year-old found the explosives in an old metal tin among rubble while inspecting the crumbled wall. His initial reaction was “panic and concern for everyone’s safety” and decided to move the explosives into an open area at the back of Reeves in case they blew up. He then contacted pub owner Ash Brindley, who also owns the Kings Arms, to let him know what he had found. Ash said officers were on the scene “within 10-15 minutes” of calling 101. Shortly afterwards a bomb disposal team arrived on the scene and conducted a controlled detonation. A Wiltshire Police spokesperson said: “We were called to reports of suspected explosives found by builders in Salisbury Street, Amesbury at around 9.50am this morning (02/02). “The EOD unit (Explosive Ordnance Disposal) was on the scene and cordoned off 100 meters in a field nearby to safely dispose of the package.” Landlady Hannah Burden was shocked to discover that there were 80-year-old explosives stashed in her pub’s back garden.
