It's been a dramatic afternoon in Honley, near Huddersfield, after police and Army EOD officers were called to a residential street.

West Yorkshire Police confirmed that they were called to an address on Gynn Lane around 3.50pm, to reports that someone had dug up what could be a hand grenade.

The Army EOD team were called in from Catterick Garrison.

Two police cordons were in place on Gynn Lane for almost an hour, as some curious residents came out to see what was going on.

One told our reporter, Andrew Robinson, who was at the scene: "I've lived here for 30 years, and this is a first." They were apparently mostly concerned that their Ocado food delivery would be affected.

Kirklees Council delivered sandbags at around 6.07pm and, 10 minutes later, the Army EOD team were on the scene.

But less than five minutes later, the Army were off again - it wasn't a bomb, after all.

One officer told our reporter "it's not a bomb", as he busied himself lifting the cordon.

So, what was it?

Our reporter said that the 'bomb' was believed to be just a car part, like an alternator, but this hasn't been confirmed by police.

Meanwhile, the residents who called the report in were said to be "rather embarrassed", by a neighbour who saw them dash inside shortly after the Army had left.

Our reporter, Andrew, tried to get some comment from them but they didn't want to speak.

So, after a rather dramatic hour, the residents of Gynn Lane have been free to go back to enjoying the sun.

And here's hoping that resident got her Ocado delivery, after all.
