A BOMB squad was called after a highly explosive anti-tank rocket was found at a house in Perth.
The Army Explosive Ordnance Disposal (EOD) team was called to a home in Wilson Street on Friday after a rocket was discovered.
Ordnance disposal experts said they were able to safely remove an inert Rocket 3.5in HE M28 from the scene for disposal.

The spokesperson added: “The EOD Operator safely removed an inert Rocket 3.5in HE M28 from the scene for future destruction, no demolition occurred.”
A Police Scotland spokesperson said: “On Friday, June 26, 2026, we received a report of possible ordnance found within a property on Wilson Street, Perth.
“EOD attended to check the item and removed it for disposal.”
