Double call out for bomb experts

A bomb squad was called out twice in one day after unexploded devices were found at two locations in Lancashire.

The first call came on Monday morning after an antiques dealer in Burscough discovered two bombs while restoring a piece of furniture.

The explosives, found in a drawer, were made safe but the unit was then sent to Torrisholme Cemetery in Morecambe where a World War II bomb had been unearthed.

The area was sealed off while the bomb disposal unit dealt with the device.

A spokesman for Lancashire Police said: "The bomb squad have been very busy.

"After rendering two devices harmless in the drawer of some furniture they were called out to a cemetery in Morecambe following the discovery of a bomb by two gravediggers."
