Coleraine Coastguard tasked to Magilligan after member of public finds bomb remains
Coleraine Coastguard was tasked to Magilligan on Wednesday, September 18, after a member of the public found a suspicious object.
The immediate area around Ball’s Point was secured as the team waited for the arrival of Army Technical Officers who examined the items and declared them safe.
The objects were the remains of practice bombs, many of which were dropped over several decades as the area was used for army and air force training.
Anyone finding anything suspicious on the shore, should dial 999 and ask for Coastguard.
