THE LLANDUDNO coastguard team were called to a report of an explosive device on a Deganwy beach on Christmas Day.
The lifeguard was called just after 10pm to a report of an explosive ordnance device (EOD).
EODs include ammunition stockpiles, cluster munitions, landmines and other explosive remnants of war/military action.
Upon arrival, the team discovered it was a length of plastic piping, and removed the object to prevent it from washing out to sea.

A Llandudno Coastguard spokesperson said: "We were called out just after 10pm on Christmas Day to a report of an explosive ordnance device (EOD) on the beach at Deganwy.
"On arrival we quickly ascertained that the object was a length of large bore plastic pipe.
"We were able to safely remove the object from the beach to ensure that it was not washed back out to sea to cause problems elsewhere.
"It can be very difficult to determine exactly what an object washed up on a beach actually is. If you are in any doubt please call 999 and ask for the Coastguard."
