Army alarm in Heidenheim: grenade discovered on Recyclinghof!

A dangerous find caused excitement at the recycling courtyard in Heidenheim-Mergelstetten on Thursday morning. At around 9:15 a.m., an employee discovered a Russian grenade that had apparently been on a grill for a long time. It remains unknown how long the explosive object stored there. The police reacted immediately and blocked the area before the ordnance disposal service arrived to defuse the grenade, which is over 75 years old, probably from World War II.

This incident is an alarming example of the fact that even decades after the war old ordnance are still found in Germany. The police warn: corrosion makes this ammunition unpredictable. In the event of a find, citizens should immediately hire the work, secure the position and inform the police immediately. Security is going on!
