A dad has shared his disbelief after his son found a grenade in a Nottinghamshire park. Liam Bools, 41, was shopping when he received a call from his eight-year-old son Theo, who had been taken by a neighbour to Berry Hill Lane park in Mansfield.
Worried there had been an accident at the park, Mr Bools listened intently, but he could not believe what he was told as he browsed the aisles of a supermarket. Theo had discovered what he thought was a grenade in the dirt, prompting his neighbour to call the police and move them away from the suspicious metal object.
In response, police officers and the Ministry of Defence's bomb squad descended on the park, closing it for hours. Mr Bools, from South Normanton, Derbyshire, said he was stupefied by what his son had found.
