An area of Hornsea has been cordoned off after the discovery of a suspected explosive device.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
An RAF Explosive Ordnance Disposal team is on its way to the scene, close to Long Beach caravan park.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The cliffs around Hornsea and Mappleton had been used by the RAF during the Second World War for target practice and a number of ordnance devices have been found over the years.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
A spokesman for Bridlington Coastguard said: \u201cA bomb disposal team is on its way to the area and we have the Hornsea Rescue Coastguard team on site.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cWe are not sure what the item found is at this stage but it isn\u2019t unusual to find old explosive devices round there.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Humberside Specials tweeted: \u201cCordon in place in with @HornseaCG due to found unexploded ordnance.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The device was found on the beach at the high water mark but no one from the caravan park has been evacuated.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
