The two roommates who live in a Dartmouth, N.S. home where a live grenade was tossed onto their front porch say they have no idea who targeted them or why.
The two roommates who live in a Dartmouth, N.S., home where a live grenade was tossed onto their property say they have no idea who targeted them or why.
One of the men says he went out the front door to smoke a cigarette at 6:30 a.m. Tuesday when he noticed what appeared to be a grenade on the corner of the porch with its pin half pulled out.
“I looked at it and I said, ‘Oh, fu–,'” he said
Global News spoke to the two on the condition of anonymity because they’re concerned about their safety.
The man says he quickly alerted his roommate, who was equally shocked.
“I got a call from him and he said that he found a grenade on the front and I was like, ‘Like a toy grenade?’ And he said, ‘No I think it was real,'” the roommate recalled.
“I was just so confused. It’s a quiet street so everybody else is mostly retired — it’s quiet.”
Police were called to the scene and evacuated nearby homes for several hours. Halifax Regional Police’s Explosive Disposal Unit and the Navy’s Fleet Diving Unit used a robot to X-ray the grenade and confirmed it was real — and live.
