The WPD said a special explosive ordinance disposal squad was dispatched from McConnell Air Force base near Wichita Thursday afternoon after the discovery of two World War II-era grenades in the 300 block of Warren.
The unit exploded the devices at 11 p.m. at the shooting range. The WPD, Trego County Sheriff’s Office, Kansas Highway Patrol, EMS and fire department all assisted in the operation.
“The home is now safe and there was at no time any danger to the public,” the WPD said in a social media report. “Thank you very much to all responders for your support.”
