Bomb disposal experts sealed off a street in Glasgow and evacuated some local residents after a worker discovered "a small grenade-type item".
The device was discovered in Beil Drive, in the city's Yoker area, at about 10:45.
An explosive ordnance disposal unit is on the scene. Beil Drive was shut from Halley Street to Felton Place.
A spokesman from Police Scotland said inquiries were ongoing and "specialist services" remained at the scene.
The spokesman said: "Around 10.45 hours this morning police and emergency services were called to Beil Drive in Yoker following the discovery by a worker of an explosive device.
"Beil Drive has been shut from Halley Street to Felton Place and a cordon has been established in the area as a precaution.
"There has also been a partial evacuation of local residents. Specialist services have been contacted and enquiries are continuing."
The cordon was later lifted.
