CHILDREN searching for chocolate on an Easter Egg hunt found a HAND GRENADE instead.

Police called in the bomb squad to explode the device after kids found it lying in a field.

Shocked dad Stuart Moffatt raised the alarm after he saw a young boy standing on the grenade during the egg hunt near Holford, Somerset.

“We were beginning to count the eggs up at the end of the hunt and I saw a young boy, around three-years-old, standing on an object.

“On closer inspection we realised it looked like a hand grenade. It was brown and about three or four inches high.

Avon and Somerset Police confirmed the grenade had been destroyed and bomb disposal teams declared the area safe.
