California gardener finds 4 Russian-style grenades in bushes near Los Angeles
2024-08-26
[FoxNews] LASD bomb techs took possession of the grenades and rendered them safe.

The Baldwin Park Police Department told Fox News Digital that the grenades were determined to be of Russian style, but did not elaborate.

LASD’s Sgt. Jose Eguia told FOX 11 that the grenades were Russian-styled F-1 grenades.

Eguia tested all four devices, determining three of them to be safe, while the fourth was considered a functioning explosive device.

The FBI’s Los Angeles field office told Fox News Digital it is working with LASD and Baldwin Park police to investigate the origin of the grenades.

Baldwin Park is about 20 miles east of Los Angeles.

#4  Confucius say, playing with braid,
"When chucking a Chinese grenade --
Er, Russian-style -- duck!"
...
"Sometimes... [tick-tock... Xi cluck...]
Detonation is slightly delayed."
