A person gardening near Olympic Village came across an unexpected item over the weekend.
A woman digging in a small garden near Hinge Park located an “old grenade” Sunday morning. A heavy police presence was seen in the area as the VPD’s Emergency Response Team worked to determine whether it was a live grenade or not.
“It is still unclear how long the grenade had been there or who put it there, however there was significant concern for public safety because it appeared to be a live grenade,” said police in a release.
The grenade was destroyed and the investigation remains ongoing.
