Plymouth: Emergency text alerts interrupt WW2 bomb press briefing

An emergency government alert was sent to people living in parts of Plymouth, to warn there was a danger to life nearby.

The alert came after an unexploded German World War Two bomb was found in a garden in Plymouth and was due to be transported to the sea, to be disposed of.

A press conference with Supt Phil Williams from Devon and Cornwall Police was interrupted as people in the area received the alert.
