Unexploded bomb found inside skip
A bomb disposal team have removed an unexploded bomb found in a skip at a Devon industrial estate.

Police said the "old and rusty" device was found by a member of the public at the Lee Mill Industrial Estate in Ivybridge just before midday on Monday.

Nearby roads were closed and diversions were in place. A Tesco petrol station and other buildings were evacuated.

The device was taken to a disused quarry where a controlled explosion was being carried out.
