A BOMB disposal team was called out to a North Wales beach yesterday only to find the “bomb’’ was a lead weight.

A member of the public walking along the promenade towards Penmaenmawr spotted the object on the beach at around 9.53am.

North Wales Police received a report the object may have been a hand grenade, and summoned the Army’s bomb squad from Cheshire.

The team quickly discovered it was a form of lead weight.
