UK contractor uncovers second unexploded WWII in three months.
The team at Wring Group must be experiencing a severe dose of deja vu this afternoon, after uncovering an unexploded World War II bomb on the same site that threw up a similar bomb back in November.
The company unearthed the latest bomb while working at a building in Notte Street, in Plymouth city centre.
A 100m cordon has been set up around the street and city’s Holiday Inn has been evacuated. The Holiday Inn was almost at capacity with most of its 190 rooms booked.
Officers have established a command centre in the Guildhall car park nearby. Police on the scene have told the BBC that the device found on Wednesday was the same size and from the same era as the previous ordnance.
An Explosive Ordnance Disposal team has been notified, and it is thought that the bomb may be exploded at sea as soon as tomorrow.
