A suspected World War Two bomb was left in a car on a Widnes car park shortly before a "controlled explosion".
Footage taken on a mobile phone and shared on social media showed several police cars in Dundalk Field, next to Dundalk Road in Widnes at around 7.50pm on Monday, May 30. In the footage you can hear police counting down before seeing a huge explosion in the fields.
Eyewitnesses said it was unclear where the device came from but nearby roads near Asda on Widnes Road were closed. Children were also seen playing football just metres away.
