A giant WWII torpedo has been found on a beach after being spotted by a stunned passerby.

The object appeared to have washed up on the shore and quickly grabbed the attention of local beachgoers.

A waste management company arrived to remove the item after a defence team was called to observe the object.

After closer inspection, a spokeswoman for the security region said it was most likely part of a torpedo from the Second World War.

It was found to have no content inside and no explosive components, as reported by What’s The Jam.

After being discovered yesterday, the beach in Noordwijk, southwest of Amsterdam, Netherlands, was closed off for the day.

Once defence teams had determined what the mysterious object was, it was removed by the Dutch company Gebr. Van der Putten.
