Weston Longville was shaken from its tranquillity this week by the ear-splitting sound of four huge detonations that rocked the area.
 
The noise had panic-stricken locals running for safety, with some getting in their vehicles to flee the village, fearing it was under some form of attack. Others called 999 in alarm to report the blasts. But it turned out Norfolk Constabulary was already well aware.
 
The sound had come from the controlled explosions of suspected Second World War munitions, as part of an operation which its officers had been helping to run.
