Bomb disposal experts were called to a Scots railway station after a "small" explosive device - thought to be a World War 2 era grenade - was discovered nearby.
Cops and a specialist explosive ordnance disposal (EOD) team descended on Greenfaulds train station in Cumbernauld at around 3.30pm on Wednesday.
Reports suggest that the device, which was found in a grassy area beside the station serving the southern end of the Lanarkshire town, was an unexploded WW2 bomb.
Police Scotland did not comment on the viability of the explosive - but maintains that it posed "no threat" to the local community.
Locals took to social media to comment on the unlikely scene.
One said: "Absolute s*** myself having a police officer run like Usain Bolt towards my car telling me to get out the area NOW."
Another added: "Never seen so many police cars outside the city."
A Police Scotland spokesperson said: “Police were called around 3.30pm on Wednesday, 13 April, following a report of a small ordnance item found in a grassy area near Greenfaulds Train Station in Cumbernauld.
"EOD was contacted and the item was removed.
"There was no threat to the community."
