WWII grenade found in car boot

A ferry terminal in Jersey had to be cordoned off after a live Second World War hand grenade was recovered from the boot of a car.

The owner of the car had found the Mills hand grenade in her home, where it had lain for decades.

She had been taking it to a police station but called the police, who directed her to the harbour, where a bomb disposal officer recovered it.

It still contained high explosives and has been taken away for disposal, the force said.
