They were doing a spot of night fishing in the river at Tydd St Giles near Wisbech, Cambridgeshire on Monday, when they hauled in a couple of suspected grenades, police said.

Officers and the bomb squad were called to Church Lane and a 100m (328ft) cordon was set up as a precaution.

Police said the suspect explosives were "safely removed from the area".

A "huge thank you" is being shared to people in a town for being "sensible" as pubs and restaurants reopened at the weekend.

Northampton Borough Council said it worked closely with the police, and the town centre's BID business group, to make sure everyone was complying with government guidance.

Anna King, cabinet member for community safety and engagement, said: "We’re so pleased that everyone, businesses and residents alike, took a sensible approach to the reopening.

"It’s extremely important that we get our local economy fully up and running again, though in doing so we need to make sure we don’t contribute to a second surge of coronavirus."

Councillor John Griffiths, leader of West Suffolk Council, said he was "delighted" they were in a position to reopen their sites in a "safe and considered way".

"I ask that we all continue to do our part by observing the measures that are needed," he added.

Although play areas are able to reopen, ensuring everyone can "socially distance", some play equipment is being "taken out of service for the time being", it added.
