A bomb disposal unit was called to Blairgowrie on Saturday night.

A street in the Carsie area was cordoned off after an “item requiring further investigation” was discovered in a house.

Police Scotland refused to reveal what the item was, but locals claim it was Second World War bombs.

One eyewitness said: “Nobody on scene would tell me anything other than that it was ‘nothing to worry about’, but I doubt they had the military bomb disposal officers and around 50 other emergency service officers around for no apparent reason.”

Never seen so many emergency vehicles in one place at Carsie, Blairgowrie.

A spokesman for Police Scotland said: “We can confirm that while conducting inquiries at an address in the Carsie area of Blairgowrie officers came across an item requiring further investigation.

“Explosive Ordnance Disposal (EOD) attended along with the Scottish Fire and Rescue Service, whereby it was found the item posed no threat.

“A cordon was put in place for a number of hours while the incident was dealt with but has since been removed.

“Officers investigating would like to thank the public for their co-operation while this incident was dealt with. There was no threat to the wider public at any point.”
