Another suspected unexploded bomb has been discovered at a Shrewsbury housing estate on the site for a former army barracks.
Officers at West Mercia Police said this afternoon that they were "currently dealing with a suspected unexploded ordnance on Copthorne Road, Shrewsbury".
A 100m safety cordon has been put in place around the old barracks and people have been asked to please avoid the area. Police said Explosive Ordnance Disposal officers have been contacted.
It is the fourth time bomb disposal experts have been called to the Copthorne Keep development off Copthorne Road where new homes are being built on the former Copthorne Barracks, the former home of the Army's Western Division headquarters.
