Two schools and residents in a North West London suburb have been evacuated as army bomb disposal teams attempt to disarm a suspected 500-lb. World War II bomb found at a building site.
Builders discovered the dustbin-sized explosive on a construction site in Queen's Park in Brent, where a block of luxury flats are currently being built. The exclusion zone around the area is expected to increase by another 300 meters as work to remove the device could take days, according to The Evening Standard.
It's claimed around 50 residents in The Avenue have been evacuated from their homes since yesterday morning (Thursday, March 2) after police were called, and many were moved to a local Holiday Inn where they were provided with pizzas.
