- Share via
Nervous workers who found a hand grenade Thursday at a North Hollywood apartment house they were repairing took the device to a nearby swimming pool and threw it in to stifle any explosion that might occur, Los Angeles police said.
A bomb squad was called to the 5700 block of Fair Avenue, Sgt. Christopher Vasquez said.
The apartment building with the pool was evacuated while bomb specialists detonated the grenade, Vasquez said. No one was injured.
