Officers said: "The device was disposed of securely by the bomb disposal officer."Police advised people who came across such objects to leave the item where it was, even if it looked old and rusty, as it could still contain explosives and, therefore, could be potentially dangerous. They also said to call the States Police on 612612 and give clear information about the description and location of the suspect item.

We dug up our driveway only to uncover sinister 60-year-old BUNKER with mystery code scrawled on walls
A COUPLE discovered a World War II Nazi bunker hidden under their home in Guernsey. Bizarrely, they have decided to have a Halloween party in the eerie lair and plan to preserve the slice of history. 10 10 10 Shaun, 35, and Caroline Tullier, 32, moved into their new house which they started renovating. However, as they began the process, they were stunned to discover a large bunker with two large rooms and a hallway. The chilling discovery had phrases written in German on the walls, including "achtung feind hort mit" - which translates to "beware, the enemy is listening". The couple of Torteval, Guernsey, moved into their home in October 2021. Shaun said they knew about the site being used as a German gun emplacement. However, there was always "a suspicion" there was something else there. German forces occupied the Channel Islands from 1940 until 1945 and, under Adolf Hitler's orders, turned the islands into an "impregnable fortress". Shaun said: "I was born in Guernsey, so I always knew about bunkers, but when Guernsey people came back to Guernsey after the war, they wanted to fill all the bunkers up. "A lot of people still have bunkers here, but they are down the road and in gardens - not underneath the house. "You just never knew what state these bunkers are in - where they are, how deep they are - you can't start digging all round just to try and find out. Ex Al Qaeda operative went from concocting bombs in an undercover bunker to one of MI5's most audacious spies "We knew the actual foundation of the house had been utilised as a German gun storage - but we didn't know if there were any rooms. "We always thought, 'imagine that!' but we had no factual information around it." Shaun explained how initially they pair wanted to convert their front garden into a turning point - so they dug it up, and gravelled it over during works. Shaun, who works as a carpenter, advertised chopping boards on Facebook Marketplace and his post was spotted by the former owner of the house. She got in touch with him and asked if he'd found the secret rooms under the property. He said: "The old owner of the house got in touch with me - as she recognised the very pink kitchen in the photos. She told him that she used to play inside the rooms when she was younger, but that her dad filled them in. Sean continued: "It was very interesting - so I then said to my wife, we're going to have to dig up the drive again - a week after putting it down. "I told my friend about the news, and he thought it sounded ace - so replied, if you get the digger, I'll dig it up!" They ended up digging up 100 tonne of ground and discovering the entrance to the bunker. The bunker consisted of two main rooms measuring 17ft by 10ft and 17ft by 20ft, and a hallway which is 30ft by four ft wide. From ground level to floor level of bunker is 26ft down. The couple discovered an escape hatch and the original tiled floor was littered with old bottles and rubble. Shaun labelled the discovery as "completely wild", adding "You can't really put it into words." "It's not just rooms for us, it's a part of history," he said. During the work, the family ended up putting 80 tonnes of concrete in for the walls and steps, and they are still converting the bunker into a games room - fitted with a snooker table and a gym. They are keeping the German writing on the walls too, and are hoping to have floor down and the bunker painted by November this year. Shaun added: "It's not something you find everyday! "We are definitely keeping the writing - and might get someone that can calligraphy it back on, otherwise it gets lost. Even the air getting to it has faded it a bit. "So in that way we can kind of frame it. "My wife is not happy, she wants the house done - not the bunker! "But I have promised everyone a Halloween party down there for the last three years, so fingers crossed it's happening this year - it's my duty to uphold." During the Occupation, hundreds of islanders were deported to prisons in Europe and many who remained on the islands nearly starved. Guernsey and Jersey were liberated when the occupation ended on 9 May 1945. Sark was liberated a day later, while Alderney, where most of the islanders had been forced to leave their homes, could not return until 15 December 1945. Islanders now celebrate the end of the German occupation with Liberation Day events in Guernsey, Jersey and Sark, along with Homecoming Day in Alderney. 10 10 10 10 10 10 10

Fire chief suspended after he was filmed shouting 'Shut the f**k up!' at girl, 10, being stretchered into ambulance
A Long Island police chief has been stripped of his duties after screaming at a young girl to 'shut the f**k up' while she was loaded into the fire truck on a stretcher. In a TikTok video uploaded on Monday, North Babylon Fire Chief Peter Alt berated and hurled obscenities at the 10–year–old girl while she was being strapped onto a stretcher. 'Shut the f**k up! It's like this with you every f**king week!' Alt shouted at the child. As the young girl pleaded with the fire department 'I don't want to go! I want to go home,' Alt responded 'Shut your mouth!' Alt's outburst came after the girl's family called emergency services for help with calming the child down, her grandmother told NBC New York. The girl allegedly became emotionally overwhelmed after her phone was taken away, so another family member called the police, who had been kind to them in the past. A concerned neighbor saw the verbal altercation and began recording. The child's grandmother, who wished to remain anonymous, said she was not there when the incident took place, but that she was 'devastated' by how the chief handled her granddaughter. 'Maybe it was a blessing I wasn't there because I would have jumped all over this guy,' she told the outlet. 'When you call for help – the police, the fire department – they're supposed to help you. Not treat you like garbage. And curse at a child at that.' The North Babylon Fire Company issued a response soon after, condemning Alt's behavior as 'unacceptable' and saying they don't condone it. 'We have become aware of an incident which occurred last night, August 4, 2025 between a member of the North Babylon Fire Company and a minor during an aided call wherein the member is alleged to have used inappropriate language toward the minor,' the statement read. Alt was 'relieved of all of his duties pending a full and thorough investigation,' according to the press release, which promised that 'appropriate action will be taken.' The press release provided little comfort to residents who expressed concern over the incident. 'That's not a professional way to deal with people,' said Mark Simms, a neighbor. 'I wouldn't want him to speak to my children like that or anyone in my family. I'd be outraged myself.' The neighbor said that emergency services have been called to this house before, but they've never responded with such aggression. 'There's been a few times over the summer where police were called, but they've never treated her like that,' he said. Other neighbors are glad the incident was captured on video, so that the chief's behavior can be appropriately addressed. Comments on the TikTok video expressed outrage over the chief's outburst. One user called out the other responders' reaction, 'The SILENCE of those other "men" is almost worse. Outrageous!' 'SILENCE IS COMPLIANCE. The others should feel ashamed for not standing up for that child,' another agreed. Another TikTok account said, 'This is how chief Peter alt of north Babylon fire department speaks to a young girl in an emergency with zero compassion why is he employed???'
