A spokesman for Merton police said: "Although this time it was not an actual weapon, we would like to thank the member of public who called it in originally. It is better to call something in, than us miss an actual weapon.

"We appreciate everyone's calls and assistance with this matter. We would also like to thank everyone for their patience with some of the closures this morning."
