A suspected bomb which sparked a major emergency response in Glasgow was discovered by a gardener who cycled home with it in his rucksack.
The young handyman discovered the device, which appeared similar to a WW2 shell, when he was trimming grass at the home of Marc Chorley, 47, in Pollok last Thursday.
He asked if he could keep the rusty old item, before placing it in his back before riding his bike back to his own home on Househillmuir Road, approximately five minutes away.
But his find sparked a major incident on Sunday after he decided to report the device to police, prompting the bomb squad to race to the scene and evacuate his neighbours.
