Grenade practice round found near bus stop on Leeward coast
Advertiser Staff
Police today recovered what appeared to be a rocket-propelled grenade practice round from an area near a bus stop at the intersection of Laaloa Street and Farrington Highway near Honokai Hale on Oahu’s Leeward shore.
“One of the regulars out there who picks up empty soda cans almost every day found the thing and picked it up,” said police Maj. Michael Moses. “He carried it down to where a special duty officer was working and our Specialize Services Division was called out and determined it was an inert dummy round, a practice round.
Moses said police “have no idea how the thing got there.”
The SSD bomb disposal experts took the device with them, Moses said.
