Bomb feels ‘scarier’ than ones previously found in city
A woman who was evacuated from her home today says this bomb removals feels “scarier” than previous ones.
Amy Gasson, who lives in the Stoke suburb of Plymouth, says: “We have had bombs in Plymouth that have been found. But nothing as serious as this one.
“This has felt a little bit scarier, being so close to home.”
She says people who have been evacuated are scared for their properties and “nervous” questioning whether they have insurance or not.
In 2011 an explosive device was unearthed by a workman at a building in Notte Street, near the Hoe.
The device was made safe then moved to the seabed off Plymouth Sound, with an exclusion zone around it, and detonated in a controlled explosion by Royal Navy experts.
