“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 Tom Seaward
A boy visiting Oxford to see his aunt ended the day fishing an antique stick grenade from the River Thames. Elijah Hearn hooked the rusting ordnance from the river at East Street under the watchful eyes of experienced magnet fishermen. “I found a bomb,” the nine-year-old from St Ives, Cambridgeshire gleefully told the Oxford Mail on Saturday afternoon. Asked how it felt to find the ancient grenade, he replied: “Amazing.” Elijah was in Oxford to visit his aunt. He said: “I came over here [to the bank, where the group was setting up], said hello and they let me have a go at some magnet fishing.”
