POLICE CLOSE PART OF BEACH AND SALTMARSH FOLLOWING DISCOVERY OF 'SUSPICIOUS DEVICE'

 


A helmeted police officer points the location of the 'device' to resort officers

PART of Cleethorpes outer beach and saltmarsh were being cordoned off by police at midday today.

The decision temporarily  to exclude the public was made after reports that a "suspicious device" had been found.

It is thought that the item was a World War II hand grenade - probably harmless but it was felt better to play safe than sorry.

It is understood a call was put out to a bomb disposal unit to attend.

Members of the Coastguard and Cleethorpes resort officers were also in attendance.

A female bobby was on hand to guide beachgoers away from the beach's Alamo plank-camp landmark
