Stourbridge tip evacuated after ammunition find
A tip was evacuated and closed after a suspected live ammunition round was discovered by workers.
Roads surrounding the Stourbridge tip in Birmingham Road were closed by police following the find.
The evacuation took place at around 11am on Saturday and routes were able to re-open again by around 1pm.
The item, thought to be a large bullet, is believed to have been found among rubbish being taken to the tip. Experts from the bomb disposal team were called, although a controlled explosion did not need to take place.
The tip was able to open as normal afterwards although there was a queue of cars trying to get into the site throughout the rest of the afternoon because of the delays. Police said the tip was shut as a precaution but there had been no risk of an explosion or danger to the public.
