A ROAD was closed for nearly three hours after the discovery of a possible explosive device.
Explosive Ordnance Disposal (EOD) experts were called to Stoborough Park in Purbeck at 3.13pm yesterday.
A cordon was put in place to protect members of the public and the northbound carriageway of Furzebrook Road was closed.
