Construction Supervisor Carries UXO into Police Station

Zhongliao, Taiwan Changhua County Police were forced to evacuate their station after a man walked in with an unexploded bomb unearthed on a nearby worksite. According to reports, workers clearing a site for a landscape improvement project in Hemei Township dug up the military UXO, and since the worksite was just 20-meters away from the Zhongliao Police Station, the site supervisor decided to pick it up and bring it to the station.

When the police officer on duty saw the bomb, he told the worker to carefully place it on a flowerbed in the courtyard of the police station. The police station and people nearby were evacuated, and a cordon was placed around the bomb while EOD was notified.

An Army UXO Disposal Team arrived and carefully wrapped the bomb in a bomb blast suppression blanket before taking it away for safe disposal. Police warned the public that if they find UXO, they should not pick it up or move it. They urged the public to refrain from bringing any suspected ordnance item into the police station but call the police immediately.
