'Explosives' washed up onto beach
Two suspicious objects, which police believe could be World War II missiles, have been found on a Dorset beach.

The find was made on sands near Ferry Road, Studland, on Tuesday.

Insp Steve White, of Dorset Police, said they had been working with the National Trust, landowners, and the coastguard, and cordoned off the area.

Emergency Ordinance Disposal teams are working at the site to determine the nature of the find and, if necessary, make the area safe.
