Reading Time: < 1 minute

An unexploded mortar bomb has been discovered in a residential area in Winston Park west of Durban.

Police spokesperson Nqobile Gwala says the owner of the house was working in his garden when he dug up a suspicious looking object and alerted police.

It is not clear how the explosive device which appears to be old and rusted ended up in the garden.

“The members identified it as a mortar bomb and then the Durban explosive team was notified and removed the mortar bomb from the property for disposal. No case was open. The members of the public are encouraged to report all suspicious objects immediately whether on private or public properties.”
