Eight grenades found in Bristol garden as police cordon off street

A resident living in a street in Bristol dug up what looked like a lump of metal while gardening this morning (Tuesday) - and ended up with the bomb squad undertaking a fingertip search of their garden.

The resident, who has not been named, inadvertently unearthed a World War Two hand grenade - and then found another close by, causing police to cordon off the whole of the road in Henleaze for much of the day.

The Army Explosive Ordnance Disposal team arrived and found there was, in fact, eight grenades and three used rounds of ammunition in the garden of the house in Henleaze.
