A BOMB disposal team was called after a member of the public discovered an unexploded device yesterday.

A spokesman for Poole police said: "The military Explosive Ordnance Disposal team have attended to assist police at East Creech in Wareham.

"A small unexploded device had been located by a member of the public.
