A BOMB disposal squad was called to a property this morning after a suspected hand grenade was found.

Police were called to an address in Keighley when the item was discovered though it later turned out to be a replica.

Residents neighbouring the house were evacuated, a cordon was put in place and part of the road closed as a precautionary measure.

A West Yorkshire Police spokesman said: "Officers attended Arncliffe Place, Keighley, after what was believed to be a hand grenade was found in a property.

"We worked with EOD (Explosive Ordnance Disposal), which checked the device was safe and it was confirmed as a replica.

"A cordon was put in place and part of the road was closed as a precaution."

Police added that residents had now been allowed back to their homes.

No information has been given into the circumstances surrounding the find.
