Police have given an update after a Wirral beach was cordoned off for 10 hours.
HM Coastguard was seen parked up on the seafront at around 10.20am this morning, June 2, as police officers searched the beach. Merseyside Police said they were called following reports a suspected rusted ordnance was found.
Due to the tide covering the area where the item was found, police put a cordon in place near the King's Parade roundabout to stop people from getting down onto the sand.
