St Albans: War munitions found in Hertfordshire garage

Munitions and other artefacts from World War One and World War Two have been found during a raid on a residential garage in St Albans, Hertfordshire.

The joint investigation by police and English Heritage has been investigating illegal metal detecting in the UK and across the English Channel in Europe.

A 48-year-old man has been arrested on suspicion of stealing "heritage artefacts" from a site in Batford, near Harpenden.

An army bomb disposal unit removed items from the property on Wednesday, where the man was detained.

Robert Hall reports from the scene.
