Ordnance Exposed As Tide Recedes

Sandwich Bay, United Kingdom HM Coast Guard and Royal Logistic Corps (RLC) EOD personnel responded to reports of ordnance finds along the beach. An exclusion zone was established around the items as teams prepared for demo operations.

A search of the area revealed a total of 7 ordnance items in all which were destroyed in an open detonation operation during low tides. Authorities reported that the dropping sand levels in the area have impacted the tides which is similar to events in the area four years prior.
