TORONTO — Police in Windsor, Ont., say they will lay no charges in connection with the discovery of potentially explosive devices near the U.S.-Canada border that led to the temporary shutdown of the Ambassador Bridge.
Police say Canada Boarder Services Agency officers found two grenades submerged in an unknown white powder during a vehicle inspection at the Ambassador Bridge on Monday morning.
The driver of the vehicle was detained, the surrounding area was evacuated and traffic on the bridge was suspended for several hours.
Windsor police say further investigation showed the grenades were inert and no direct threats were made to persons or places in connection with the devices.
