A World War II grenade found near houses in Magherafelt has been made safe by the Army.

A number of houses were evacuated after the weapon was discovered at about 1415 GMT on Monday.

It was found by workmen at Ballyronan Road. A number of roads in the surrounding area were closed to traffic.

They were reopened about two hours later when the grenade was dealt with by the Army.
