Hand grenade detonated on Seaton Carew beach
Bomb disposal experts have detonated a World War II hand grenade that was found on a Teesside beach.
A Hartlepool Borough Council worker found the grenade encased in rock near the Rocket House car park at Seaton Carew at about 09:50 BST.
The grenade was missing its safety devices and was detonated by experts, called in from Catterick, within a cordon at the low tide line.
Cleveland Police said cordons have been removed and the beach has reopened.
