CEDAR LAKE — A Cedar Lake homeowner unexpectedly happened upon a World War II grenade buried in the ground while working in a shed Tuesday, police said. What at first appeared to be a “military mortar” turned out to be a British World War II smoke grenade that had been rendered inert, according to police. Officers called to the shed also located a “World War II rifle grenade that had also been rendered inert and non-functional,” Cedar Lake Police Chief William Fisher said in an email. The owner of a residence on 129th Street between Wicker Avenue and Alexander Street discovered the decades-old smoke grenade and called the cops, Fisher said. “Police were advised by dispatch that the homeowner believed they located a possible military mortar shell,” he said. Officers spoke with the homeowner, who related that while working in a shed and “moving items around, they located an old mortar shell partially buried in the ground,” Fisher said.
