Austin Resident Finds Six WWII-Era Grenades

An Austin resident found six suspected World War II-era grenades while unpacking boxes bought at an estate sale, prompting police to secure the neighborhood and summon bomb technicians. X-rays indicated the devices appeared to be live, though police said they posed no immediate threat; technicians took precautions and rendered them safe before removing them. Police said no crime occurred and no further investigation is planned. Authorities urged anyone who finds suspected military ordnance to leave it untouched and call 911.
