Police are to carry out further controlled explosions of hand grenades this morning in a field in Saltburn by the Sea.

Members of the public are being urged to stay away from the area around the field next to Brough Farm/Coastguard Cottages.

A similar message was put out by Cleveland Police on social media last night, with an image showing what appeared to be several old and rusting military devices and an army-style camouflaged bag.

It is not known how or why the grenades got there.
