WWII grenade found at Army office

A World War II hand grenade discovered at an Army careers office in a north Derbyshire town has been found to be perfectly safe, police said.

Part of the area around West Bars in Chesterfield was cordoned off after the device was found .

But subsequent examination by a bomb disposal squad revealed it actually contained no explosives.

A police spokesman said that at no point did it pose any danger to staff or the public in the area.
