The Austin Police Department recently responded to a call regarding the discovery of live military grenades at a local estate sale. Upon arrival, officers confirmed that the items were authentic, live explosives dating back to World War II. The situation was resolved without injury or property damage, and police have officially stated that there is no criminal investigation attached to the incident.

While the discovery caused a brief disruption, officials used the event to issue a public safety warning. The department emphasized that individuals who come across old military equipment or potential ordnance should not handle the items. Instead, they advise the public to leave the objects undisturbed and immediately contact local law enforcement to ensure they are disposed of by trained bomb squad professionals. The incident serves as a reminder of the potential dangers associated with historical military artifacts that may remain active decades after their manufacture.
