Bomb squad called after magnet fisher hooks 'device'
Part of a village was cordoned off after a suspected bomb was found in a river. The object was found by a person magnet fishing - which involves dangling a magnet attached to a rope into water to locate metallic finds - in the River Bure off Station Road in Hoveton, near Wroxham, on the Norfolk Broads, at about 13:40 BST on Saturday. Norfolk Police placed a 100m (340ft) cordon at the scene and closed the road. The cordon was lifted at about 16:50 after the Army's explosive ordnance disposal team from Colchester assessed the object and established it was not an unexploded ordnance device, police said.
