Bearsden WWII bomb alert was false alarm | |
(35 minutes later) | |
A suspected bomb alert in East Dunbartonshire has turned out to be a false alarm, police said. | |
Explosives experts were called to an address in West Chapelton Drive, Bearsden, at about 13:20 after a gardener thought he had dug up an unexploded World War II bomb. | |
Police cordoned off the area and neighbouring homes were evacuated. | |
But a bomb disposal team from the Faslane Naval Base on the Clyde declared the object safe. | |
A Police Scotland spokeswoman said: "It ended up being a false alarm with good intent. | |
"The explosive ordinance disposal team came out but it was an inert object so all has been stood down. It wasn't a bomb." |
