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 More pictures below: |
