Hand grenade found in sack of potatoes

A HAND grenade has been found in a sack of potatoes bought at a greengrocers.

The unexploded device, dating from the Second World War, had gone undetected for so long due to its ‘petrified’ state, giving it the appearance of a potato.

Bomb disposal experts disposed of the live explosive following its discovery at a shop in Chiclana de la Frontera.

The incident follows an almost identical find in Oviedo in 2007.
