TRAFFIC STOP YIELDS EXPLOSIVE FIND: LIVE GRENADE IN TRUNK

 

January 16, 2011 (El Cajon) – El Cajon Police Officer Dan Hansen stopped a car for a registration violation at 9 p.m. tonight at the intersection of Greenfield and Main. The car had not been registered for six months and was to be impounded, so an inventory was taken and a live grenade was found in the trunk.

Officers evacuated businesses near the car, and closed down the intersection.
