If you find old military items, you should leave them where they are and contact police.
That’s the message from Brantford Police, after a resident brought a possible “explosive device” to Fire Hall #3 on Lynden Road at around 10 a.m. Monday.
Police say a resident who had recently cleaned out a deceased relative’s property brought what was thought to be a live mortar round to the fire hall.
The fire hall was briefly evacuated as a precaution, until it was determined that the mortar was an antique training round.
