The army has been called to a popular tourist beach in Port Macquarie on NSW’s Mid North Coast to detonate and remove a device found in the water on Saturday. Port Macquarie Lifeguards posted on Facebook that part of Lighthouse Beach was closed “due to a device that has washed ashore”. NSW Police have evacuated the area and Fire and Rescue NSW have secured an exclusion zone around the unexploded device,” they wrote on Saturday morning. “The army has been tasked to assist in its detonation and removal this afternoon. The beach will remain closed for some time, (so) avoid that area.” The explosive has since been identified as a fighter jet device used for target practice. “Initial inquiries have indicated it appears to have been in the water for many years,” Port Macquarie Lifeguards said. “The item poses no risk and will be further examined by the ADF.”
