Wellow: WW2 ordnance found in garden blown up in field

An unexploded World War Two ordnance has been removed and blown up after being found in an Isle of Wight garden.

The device was discovered in the garden of a home off Main Road in Wellow village on Friday morning at about 10:45 GMT.

Hampshire and Isle of Wight Constabulary said a cordon was set up while the unexploded ordnance, which was described by the Royal Navy as a “small World War Two incendiary”, was safely removed.

A Royal Navy Bomb Disposal team detonated the device in a controlled explosion in a nearby field.
