“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 Owen Sennitt
A bomb disposal team was called to conduct a controlled explosion after a Second World War bomb was found on a Norfolk beach. An Explosive Ordnance Team (EOD) from Colchester were called to the scene at Walcott Beach on Monday, April 4, after reports of an “unexploded device”. Nearby homes were evacuated and a 100m cordon was put in place in the area. Bacton Coastguard station officer, Pete Revell, said a member of the public had discovered the explosive following a low tide. He said: “We were alerted by a member of the public after the tide revealed the mortar shell. “We called EOD and they performed a controlled explosion. “Homes had been evacuated and we had a safety cordon in place but everything is back to normal now.”
