Last Thursday, South Kohala patrol officers located what appeared to be an unexploded grenade after a resident reported discovering the grenade in a riverbed at a trail park.
Members of the Hawai‘i Island Bomb Squad conferred with members of the United States Army Explosive Ordnance Disposal team where it was determined the grenade was not a threat. Hawai‘i Island Bomb Squad secured the grenade into a reinforced bomb disposal container where it was subsequently removed from the riverbed and away from public access.
