An unexploded grenade found in Chipping Campden’s High Street has drawn attention, prompting police and army involvement for safety.
Chipping Campden: So, there was this wild scene in Chipping Campden today. Emergency services showed up on High Street after someone found what looked like a grenade in a house. Can you believe it?
The police and army got there early, around 8:40 AM. They were all over the place, making sure everyone was safe. It turns out the grenade was from World War 1, which is pretty crazy.
A spokesperson from Gloucestershire Constabulary said they were called in to handle the situation. They contacted the Explosive Ordnance Disposal team to take care of the grenade and planned to detonate it in a nearby field.
People in the area were shocked to see so many police and army personnel. One local even mentioned that Chipping Campden isn’t exactly where you’d expect to see that kind of action.
The police shared a photo of the grenade wrapped in old newspapers, which looked pretty eerie. They had to cordon off part of the High Street while they dealt with the situation.
