Boy Pulls Up Grenade From River

London, United Kingdom An-eight-year-old boy treasure hunting with a magnet on a string from a small boat in the Grand Union Canal made a scary discovery - an exploded hand grenade. The boy, his twin brother, friend and nanny were reportedly enjoying the day, pulling out a variety of items from the river including old wrenches and empty beer cans before finding the grenade.

After noticing the grenade shape, the nanny carefully placed the suspect item on a nearby path along the canal before calling the police. Police arrived and secured the scene before calling in the local bomb squad. The bomb squad determined that the item was a WII-era grenade that was safe to move. The bomb disposal team moved the item and properly disposed of it off-site.
