RCMP in Grand Rapids, Man., found something unusual on the riverbank behind the local school on Sunday: a modified grenade.
Officers arrived on scene immediately after a report of the device around 12 p.m., and called in the RCMP’s explosive disposal unit (EDU) for help.
Police said the EDU determined it was a modified pineapple grenade with the pin removed, and wasn’t at risk of exploding. It was disposed of safely after the EDU countercharged the grenade and destroyed it.
