Island beat: Inactive grenade found in garbage bin

DENPASAR: An inactive grenade was found by a trash picker in a garbage bin on Jl. Setiabudi on Friday.

The grenade was found inside a cardboard box along with magazines, compact discs and a rifle by Novi Akbar Purnama Putra, 28, when he was picking through the garbage bin.

Following Novi’s report, the Bali Police’s bomb squad immediately headed to the location and took the bin’s contents to the Mobile Brigade’s headquarters.

Police spokesman Sr.Comr. Hariadi said on Saturday that the police declared none of contents dangerous.

“The grenade was filled with tear gas but no longer active, and the rifle is a toy, so it’s not dangerous at all.”
