Newtownards: ‘Chaotic’ few days after WW2 bomb discovered

It’s been a “chaotic” few days for residents in Newtownards after a suspected WW2 bomb was found on a building site.

It was found at a building site at the Rivenwood housing development on Movilla Road on Friday.

“All of a sudden people have become bomb disposal experts overnight,” a resident told BBC News NI after residents within a 400m radius of the device were told to evacuate.

The police have told residents that the operation could take five days to complete.
