World War II hand grenades found in Bournville garden

A cordon was erected while the bomb disposal team dealt with the grenades

Two hand grenades thought to have been left over from World War II have been discovered in the garden of a terraced house in Birmingham.

They were found by someone digging in the back garden of a house in Mary Vale Road, Bournville, at about 1430 GMT.

West Midlands Police evacuated immediate neighbours to the side and rear of the property and put up a cordon at the end of the road.

A bomb-disposal team was making the area safe, a force spokesman said.
