Glasgow gardener carried 'bomb' home in rucksack after finding it in hedge at Pollok garden

A gardener from Glasgow sparked a massive emergency response after he cycled home with a suspected bomb in his rucksack.

The handyman was trimming grass at the home of Marc Chorley, 47, and Ruth Smith, 40, on Seamill Street in Pollok last Thursday, when he spotted what appeared to a WW2 shell in the garden.

After asking the couple if he could keep the rusty he item, he placed it in his back pack and rode his bike to his home five minutes away on Househillmuir Road, writes the Record.
