Malinsgate police station had to be evacuated yesterday afternoon as a member of the public handed in the WW2 device over the front counter.
As a precaution, Malinsgate police station was evacuated and a 50 metre cordon was put in place around the building just after 3pm, after the Second World War hand grenade was handed into the front counter by a member of the public.
West Mercia Police said later that the police station had re-opened and the cordon removed after experts from Explosives Ordnance Disposal assessed the grenade and found it was decommissioned and therefore safe and thanked the public for their patience.
