A man in Austin, Texas, buys a box at an estate sale and later discovers multiple live World War II-era grenades inside, prompting a bomb squad response. Police say bomb squad experts safely secure and remove the explosives from the home.
Reports agree the grenades are believed to date back to World War II and that the discovery is potentially dangerous because of their age and unknown stability. Outlet accounts vary slightly on details, including the number of grenades mentioned, but all describe law enforcement involvement and the grenades being collected by experts.
After the grenades are removed, police confirm the buyer does not face legal trouble, according to the available reporting. The focus across sources remains on the safe handling of the explosives and the official response following the estate sale discovery.
