Police find no evidence of unexploded war bombs

Guernsey Police said it takes unexploded ordnance "very seriously"

There is no evidence of unexploded Second World War bombs at a private field, Guernsey Police has said.

In 2018, the States of Guernsey was made aware of the potential existence of these unexploded aircraft-dropped bombs on near Route Isabelle.

A year later, a private specialist company was commissioned by the States to survey the land but no evidence was ever found of any ordnance.

Conducting a second survey was only deemed necessary if development in the area took place but the force has said this is not possible because the area is outside of approved development areas.

A spokesperson for Guernsey Police said: "The States of Guernsey and Guernsey Police take the risk of historic ordnance very seriously, as evidenced by the regular action of the Police’s EOD team.

"In this case, however, there is no strong evidence that these devices exist and the States of Guernsey has already conducted precautionary work to ensure the risk to the community is minimal."
