Warning over explosives on West beaches

OFFICERS from Kingsbridge Police have warned that more Second World War devices could be discovered on Devon’s beaches following the severe weather.

The warning came after a cordon was put in place at Paignton seafront on Sarturday after two hand grenades were discovered.

In a statement on Facebook, a spokesperson for Kingsbridge Police said: ‘’Paignton seafront is currently closed after multiple items of WW2 ordnance have been discovered on the beach.

‘’With the strong winds and tides we have had, there is a real possibility that we will have the same issue at Torcross.

‘’If you are out for your daily exercise and find something suspicious that you think could be old ordnance, then don’t touch it.

“Move away and call 999 and ask for The Coastguard.’’
