A bomb disposal team removed a landmine from a County Durham home which was found at the beach.
The landmine was found at Horden beach on June 15 before it was taken back to a home in the village.
The Explosive Ordnance Disposal team and police were called to the house on Handley Street at around 8.55pm on Tuesday.
A team of officers from the Military of Defence team removed the item, which they concluded was not a live explosive.
