The Santa Barbara County Sheriff’s Office says a Santa Barbara resident found a World War II Mk 2 pineapple grenade while cleaning out their garage Saturday afternoon.
The resident believed the grenade belonged to their deceased grandfather, who is a WWII veteran.
Officials say the grenade was believed to be live, so deputies evacuated the surrounding area of Tajo Dr. in Santa Barbara. A Sheriff’s Bomb Team member responded and collected the grenade for disposal.
