German WW1 grenade found in potato shipment
03 Feb 2019; DW: A police bomb squad was called to the Calbee snacks factory in eastern Hong Kong after staff there found a hand grenade from the First World War inside a crate of French potatoes, police said.
Officers moved cars and piled sandbags around the 1-kilogram (2.2-pound) device before safely destroying it.
"The grenade was in an unstable condition because it has been previously discharged but failed to detonate," Superintendent Wilfred Wong Ho-hon told reporters.
