Police have cordoned off part of Stoke-on-Trent after what is believed to be an unexploded World War Two bomb was discovered.
An Army bomb disposal team has been sent to Chatterley Road, Tunstall, to investigate.
Staffordshire Police were alerted just after 1300 GMT by a member of the public who said they had spotted a device.
A spokesman said it was not in an "immediately residential area".
Ch Insp Dave Mellor, of Staffordshire Police, said: "We have cordoned off the area and are taking the necessary steps to ensure as a top priority the safety of the local community, and hope to resolve the situation as soon as is possible.
"Officers are on site providing information and reassurance to the local community."
