“If you ever come across anything suspicious like this item, please do not pick it up, contact your local law enforcement agency for assistance”

Army bomb disposal experts were sent to defuse explosives after the discovery of two hand grenades in a van close to a McDonald’s restaurant in England on Wednesday evening. The area was cordoned off by police after the sighting in the British city of Birmingham in the West Midlands during the 5 p.m. rush hour on April 27. Police sealed off the area opposite a McDonald’s branch at the junction of The Meadway and Garretts Green Lane, while experts from the Royal Logistics Corps Bomb Disposal Unit raced to the scene. The grenades, which dated back to World War II, had originated from a house that had been cleared earlier in the day, with a number of items being loaded into a van. It was only later that the two grenades were spotted amongst the items in the vehicle and the police were called.
If you find anything that appears to be an explosive device, do not touch it, leave it where it is and call the police. We will contact the appropriate agencies to properly dispose of the item.
