New Year Clean-up Includes UXO Sweep

Kenosha, Wisconsin Many people clean out after the New Year, but the Kenosha County Sheriff's Department's bomb squad responded to a local home to remove more than just old furniture and toys. They removed four 40 mm rounds, one hand grenade, and one smoke grenade from the basement of a residential property.

The ordnance items were deemed safe for transport and were taken offsite for proper disposal. An investigation is underway to determine how the ordnance ended up in the house.
