Six Second World War anti-tank rockets have been found behind a bus stop in Essex.
The deadly cache of live weapons were made safe by a bomb disposal unit after police officers were called to the stop on the B181 Epping Road in Coopersale.
Essex Police have appealed for help in tracing the person who left the rockets..
An appeal on the force's Facebook page was questioned by some who thought it might be an April Fool.
One person wrote: "Hmmmm - true or an April Fool??!"
Another said: "yea right!"
In response, the force insisted it was genuine and said in a post: "This is a bona fide appeal. Anyone with information is asked to call 101."
An Essex Police spokesman said: "The Army Explosives Ordnance Disposal Unit attended and disposed of the rockets nearby and confirmed they were six live anti-tank rockets from WW2.
"We are appealing to find the person who left these items at the bus stop and to find out whether they have any more."
The rocket haul was found at around 4.55pm on 29 March.
