Batad Municipal Police Station personnel recovered a hand grenade last Thursday in the town’s Barangay Alapasco.
Police were tipped off after a local resident informed Barangay Kagawad Rodelo Bemon when they spotted the explosive device in a grassy area of the neighborhood.
Responding personnel immediately cordoned off the area and tied up the pin with electrical tape.
The grenade was later turned over to the Explosive Ordnance Disposal Division./WDJ
