Halifax police detonate live grenade found outside home in Dartmouth
Halifax Regional Police detonated a live grenade that was found early Tuesday morning outside a Dartmouth home. According to a news release, police were contacted around 6:30 a.m. AT by a resident of Pauline Crescent who reported a grenade had been thrown onto their property. The force's explosive disposal unit, with the assistance of personnel from the navy's fleet diving unit, deployed a robot that X-rayed the item and confirmed it was a live grenade, the release said. A police spokesperson said the robot was used to move the grenade away from the home. It was subsequently buried underground and a countercharge was used to successfully detonate it "without causing injury or property damage." After the grenade was discovered, police evacuated homes on Pauline Crescent and closed off the street. Homes were also evacuated near Belle Vista Drive throughout the day. The grenade was detonated at about 3:40 p.m. and the street was reopened and residents were allowed to return to their homes shortly afterward. Police are continuing to investigate the incident.
