A nature reserve was closed off by police due to reports of a suspected World War II landmine.
The suspected item was examined by officers, and there was a “full stand-down” by 5.10pm, the Metropolitan Police said.Alarms were first raised when 14-year-old Coby was metal detecting with his friend in the area, a hobby he picked up over the last few weeks. His dad, Raffi Berg, who is the Middle East editor of the BBC News website, said:"He's 14 so I thought obviously not and it wasn't until I went there myself and I couldn't really tell - because it just looked like the top of an anti-tank mine.
He said a"dozen" of police came straight away before it was evacuated and a bomb squad followed and said it was a piece of electrical equipment.
