A grandmother found what she thought was a grenade in a fireplace while helping her son to renovate a flat. Police were called out at 10.50am on Monday after they received reports that a grenade had been found at a home on Albert Road in Southport. The home which has been converted into flats was evacuated as police waited for the bomb disposal team to arrive. The grenade, which was found to be a practice device, was found in the basement flat by Penny Doyle, 63, while she was helping her son Sean renovate the apartment. She said that while she was tidying up she decided to clean out the fireplace. “I was pulling the soil out and in amongst the dirt and bricks I picked up this heavy metal object which looked to be a grenade,” Penny said. “So I walked through the kitchen and Sean was sawing at the time and I stood behind him as he could not hear me and I said ‘Sean I think I have found a grenade’. “He took it outside and phoned the police.”
If you find anything that appears to be an explosive device, do not touch it, leave it where it is and call the police. We will contact the appropriate agencies to properly dispose of the item.
