Bomb squad called after 'ammunition' handed in

A large section of a retail park was temporarily evacuated after suspected ammunition was reportedly handed in to a charity shop.

The items, believed to have been donated in a small bag, were handed into the Cancer Research UK store at the Greenbridge Retail Park in Swindon earlier.

The items have since been taken by bomb disposal experts for testing and a cordon, set up around the building at 10:30 GMT, has since been lifted.

The Cancer Research UK store is expected to remain closed for the rest of Tuesday.

Wiltshire Police said: "The rest of the retail park remains open as usual."

Around five pieces of ammunition were reportedly handed in at the shop, with four of the items being 7.62mm - the standard size for many military small arms munitions.

A fifth item is thought to be a much larger type of round.
