anon opinion: special ops going on.. need cleared

 

THOUSANDS of homes have been evacuated and 12 uni halls closed after an eight-foot World War II 'bomb' was discovered near a city centre.

 

Cops and bomb disposal teams have declared a major incident in Exeter after the suspected ordnance was found at a building site yesterday morning.

Royal Navy ordnance disposal squads spent the night working at the site - but police have this morning announced 2,600 homes will need to be emptied.

 

University students and residents of a nearby care home are among those who have been asked to leave their properties.

 

An 100-metre cordon was initially put in place around the device.

 

However, worried officers have now extended it to 400 metres over concerns for the safety of the public.

 

A spokesperson from Devon and Cornwall Police said the device, which measures a whopping eight foot by 27 inches, was found on private land in Glenthorne Road, just outside the city's university.

 

Navy personnel have built a blast wall around the ordnance so it can be safely detonated.
