A police station in Surrey had to be evacuated after an unexploded mortar shell was handed in at the front counter by a member of the public.
A Surrey Police spokesman said the device was handed over at Guildford Police Station at 13.40 BST on Sunday.

The police station in Margaret Road was evacuated as a precaution.
The spokesman said there was no danger to neighbouring properties.
