‘Unexploded shell’ found in Horsham

Horsham Police said on Twitter the device, found last night (May 12), turned out to be a fuse mechanism for a bomb which was ‘reasonably easy’ to remove.

The County Times has approached Horsham Police for more information about the incident.

In a round up of incidents officers said they had dealt with a crash, a drink driver and several domestic violence incidents as well.

A spokesman added they also dealt with three missing people and two people who had left mental health hospitals.
