POLICE were called to a Selby school when a child brought in a live bullet which he had found in his garden.
The year-five pupil unearthed the intact bullet while digging in his garden, much to the surprise of his teacher at Longmans Hill County Primary School, in Longmans Hill, Selby.
Head teacher Jane Guy said: "We obviously had to be careful and take professional advice. The teacher could see that the bullet still had both ends so we called the police in to be on the safe side."
An officer from Selby Police collected the bullet and took it away for disposal.
