Maryport beach’s ‘suspicious item’ turns out to be speaker part

A bomb disposal team was scrambled to a “suspicious item” on a beach – only to discover it was part of a speaker system.

Whitehaven and Maryport Coastguard teams, together with Cumbria police, were called to Maryport North Shore on Thursday.

When they could not identify the item, they set up a cordon around it and called in Explosive Ordnance Disposal (EOD) specialists from Catterick, North Yorkshire.

An HM Coastguard spokesman added that the item was removed from the beach and identified as harmless.
