I am glad to see they did not have detectors with them that would have been bad news for the hobby.

Unbelievably irresponsible. I hope the Police catch them and lock them up for a long time. B|

I saw that picture and I thought surely someone would tell them that what they are doing is mega dangerous.

This story was featured on Radio 2 and they featured a guy who was ex bomb disposal who was stating how dangerous this was and how unstable these shells would be.To walk through a public area like that is idiotic beyond words can describe,do they not realise they are playing with other peoples lives as well as there own. ;;z ;;z ;;z
