A suspected unexploded historic bomb has been discovered of the banks of the River Arun in West Sussex.

The Royal Navy’s bomb disposal unit and officers from Sussex Police worked on Saturday morning to safely remove the ordnance, found near Queen Street, in Arundel.

Shortly after 13:00 BST, Sussex Police said the ordnance had been “safely dealt with by the Explosive Ordnance (EOD) team”.

A cordon that was in place as a precaution has been lifted, with access to Arundel via Queen Street, the High Street and the Causeway no longer restricted.

Sussex Police said it first received reports of the bomb at about 13:00 on Friday.

Emergency services were unable to safely reach the bomb until Saturday morning due to tide conditions.

The Royal Navy has been contacted for comment.
