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

A group of magnet fishers found themselves dealing with an unexpected catch after discovering a live bomb while searching a pond near Caerphilly. The team of six, who are part of a group called The Magneteers, were searching in Pontllanfraith, near Blackwood in Caerphilly county, and made the find in a pond near Gelligroes Mill. Alan Morgan, who pulled the explosive from the water, said he thought it was live as it had a tripwire and pin. The group then phoned a war expert friend to confirm the explosive and then made another call to Gwent Police. The device was later detonated on a nearby road. The group of magnet fishers who hunt for metal submerged in canals and rivers made the surprise find at about 3pm on Sunday April 24. Mr Morgan said he had initially thought it was a “bait bomb”.
