What happened
A suspected WWII-era device was uncovered in Devonport Park, prompting a 200m police cordon while bomb disposal specialists assessed it — coming only weeks after the Notte Street find nearby.
How it was made safe
Cordon lifted without a controlled detonation — device was not thought to be viable.
Also worth knowing
Police said the device was not thought to be "viable" and the cordon was lifted without a controlled detonation — a reminder that not every wartime find turns into a full evacuation.
