Residents were evacuated after a hand grenade was found in a Huddersfield shed.

But bomb disposal experts have now examined the rusty shell and declared it not a risk.

Newsome Road South was taped off after the grenade was found at 10am on Saturday in the Berry Brow area of town.

The occupants of the house and several neighbouring properties were asked to leave their homes and police prevented motorists and pedestrians from entering the area.

But military experts found the grenade was empty and did not contain any explosives.

The road was re-opened at 1.30pm.
