An investigation is underway after 1,000 rounds of live ammunition fell off the back of a van travelling at 60mph and spread over a country lane. The incident saw 9mm bullets roll from the rear of an unmarked MoD police vehicle on Monday afternoon as it was being transported from the Atomic Weapons Establishment at Burghfield, Berkshire, to a nearby site in Aldermaston. A civilian passing by alerted police by calling 999 after they noticed the bullets strewn across a lane near the site where nuclear warheads for Britain’s Trident submarines are assembled, reports The Sun.
