Experts have safely detonated a World War Two device found on a construction site in East Tilbury. The discovery was made at the site, off Station Road, at around 11.30am on Tuesday 5 November. The device was found to be a 250kg bomb dropped by the Luftwaffe during World War Two. It had remained hidden underground and was only uncovered by ongoing construction work in the area. Officers immediately worked hard with partners from multiple agencies to secure the scene, while Ministry of Defence experts established the safest and most efficient means of disposing of the bomb.
