War device found on Villafranca Tirrena beach. The presence of the device half-covered by sand was reported by some bathers who were close to the shore and therefore alerted the police. The area was immediately cordoned off with tape by the Carabinieri. The personnel of the Municipality’s technical maintenance office were also alerted, to support the logistical operations required in these cases. Mayor Giuseppe Cavallaro is also present on site. The device is now expected to be removed by the police bomb squad and in the meantime part of the beach area will remain cordoned off and unusable for safety reasons. It is presumably a mortar bomb.
