But when officers from Bishop's Castle got to the scene in Clungunford at 3.50pm they found it was a "torpedo-shaped" glass bottle.

A spokesperson for South Shropshire Safer Neighbourhood Teams said: "Safer Neighbourhood Officers from Bishop's Castle were called out to what was reported as an unexploded device in Clungunford at around 3.50pm today.

"Pleased to report it was a torpedo-shaped glass bottle."

Officers put it down to a call made with good intent.
