WW2 mortar found in house detonated by Army

Army bomb disposal experts were deployed to a residential street following the discovery of a "suspected World War Two mortar device", police have said.

South Yorkshire Police said officers were called to Robin Hood Crescent, in Edenthorpe, Doncaster, shortly after 10:15 GMT after the shell was found inside a property.

A police spokesperson said the road had been closed following the discovery while the Army's Explosive Ordnance Disposal (EOD) unit attended the scene.

The force said the EOD unit carried out a controlled detonation of the device, and the road has now reopened.
