"Police were forced to place the South Gare area in lockdown after the dramatic discovery"

It's a joke right ?

No its not a joke I live 15 minutes away from the South Gare. The town of Middlesbrough is a 15 minute drive from the South Gare Middlesbrough has the highest amount per head of immigrants in the UK. Not that it has any bearing on it. My guess some one dropped them the South Gare is teeming with wild life it is home to a small fleet of fishing cobbles. Fishermen fish for Cod of the end of the gare under the light house. They spend all night there. They sleep in small wooden cabins that are passed down through generations. They are adjacent to a small cove called paddies hole at low tide they go digging for lug worms on the mud flats.Or they have been thrown over board from one of the dozens of ships anchored off shore waiting to come in to off load at the Oil refineries on the North bank of the River.

How is finding 300 rounds a dramatic discovery ? It's nothing !

So how many rounds would be a dramatic discovery in Canada eh?.

I doubt any amount would be considered dramatic without a rifle to shoot them.

I can walk in my local Canadian Tire or Home Hardware and walk out again with thousands of rounds. I have done just that many times and nobody bats an eyelid

Obviously you don't live in the UK. Anything to do with guns or ammo is front page news and a reason to lock everything down.

I used to live in the UK, and not really that long ago, but it was not as bad as it is now. Looks like it has got a lot worse.

A single live .22lr round was found in the street over here and the police and the media went daft!

TNT tipped a thousand rounds of minimag all over the road round here once, people kept bringing them into the gun shop.

Not much fuss was made.

Down the bottom of the lane passed my mums old house was an old WW2 dump from an RAF maintenance unit near the river.Years ago a friend of mine bought an all singing all dancing metal detector and went down there with it and returned with a bucketful of live .50cal rounds, all in near perfect condition.We took them to the local nick and handed them in.......after the fifth or sixth bucketful they told him to either stop going down there or sell the bloody metal detector!.
