They worked alongside an Explosive Ordnance Disposal (EOD) to deal with the device.
No road closures were put in place and there was not thought to be a wider threat to the public.

The force later confirmed it was a historical training device which wasn't live and did not need detonating.
It came as murder squad detectives continued to examine the scene in Victoria Road nearby where a woman in her 50s was found dead in a flat on Wednesday (June 23).
A man in his 30s, who was known to the victim, was arrested at the scene on suspicion of murder.
