Unexploded WWII bomb taken to police station

Manor Road was closed to new traffic while the device was investigated

NEIGHBOURS living in an area of Wallasey were left "unsettled" yesterday after a member of the public brought a suspected WWII bomb into a police station.

At around 2.40pm a person attended Wallasey police station on Manor Road, carrying what was believed to be an unexploded bomb.

A large cordon was put in place on Manor Road between Withens Lane and Wimbledon Street as a precaution while the device was examined. Police confirmed the station was not evacuated and remained open throughout the incident.
