Suspect containers found at beach
Police bomb disposal experts were called out after five suspect aluminium containers were found near a beach.

The devices, seven by four inches in size, were found by a National Trust Ranger picking litter near Studland beach and chain ferry in Dorset.

It is thought the containers, which looked like mortar shells, had been there for about 10 years.

Dorset Police bomb disposal experts confirmed the devices were industrial items and not explosives.
