Dear Resident,

We were called on Sunday morning about a suspicious device that was found while a resident was doing some work in their garden in Ailsworth.

Response officers worked quickly to evacuate local residents and worked alongside Explosive Ordnance Disposal (EOD) to safely retrieve the device, which was identified as a German Incendiary Bomb from WW2, and destroy it.

Thank you to the resident for contacting us!

Kind regards,
