Streets evacuated after fisherman brings home grenade

Courtesy of the ABC
More than a dozen homes were evacuated at Redcliffe north of Brisbane this afternoon while the Army bomb squad dealt with a hand grenade.

It is believed a man found the grenade in a fishing net on his trawler last night and took it home.

It was apparently British-made and dated from World War II.

Experts were called to Scarborough and nearby streets were cordoned off.

The grenade was taken away to be detonated.

Haha - certainly more 'bang for ya buck' - quite a good 'net result' - 'over haul, a good result'
