Bomb squad called to 'unexploded ordnance' in village
Police have set up a 200-metre cordon in Colwall, between Malvern and Ledbury
A cordon is in place in a Herefordshire village as unexploded ordnance has been found.
The bomb squad has been called to the scene and West Mercia Police officers are blocking the lane in the middle of Colwall.
On the border between Herefordshire and Worcestershire near Ledbury, the village is still calm despite the 200-metre cordon to ensure people’s safety.
West Mercia Police said it will wait for the Army’s explosives team to arrive before deciding the next steps.
That could be to take the item elsewhere to blow-up, like what happened in Worcester earlier this week when magnet fishers pulled an item from the river Severn.
11 EOD & Search Regiment Royal Logistic Corps is the British Army's specialist unit responsible for improvised explosive device and conventional munitions disposal.
The Regiment also inspect and licence ammunition storage and enforce explosives safety regulations.
