Summary
Ontario Provincial Police issued a public warning after someone brought an unexploded World War II-era hand grenade to the Ottawa detachment for disposal on July 10.
Police said unexploded ordnance should be left where it is, not transported, because officers can arrange for an Explosives Disposal Unit to remove it safely.
The advisory underscores that even roughly 80-year-old munitions can still pose a live-explosive risk if handled or moved.
