Live grenade found in Cengkareng

JAKARTA: A resident of Kapuk Cengkareng, West Jakarta, found more than he bargained for on Thursday when he took out his garbage -- a live grenade.

Jakarta Police spokesman Sr. Comr. Tjiptono said the man, Supardi, 40, handed the grenade into the Cengkareng Police shortly after he found it.

The area it was found is about 10 minutes drive from the Soekarno-Hatta International Airport.

"The grenade is now being examined by the city police bomb squad," Tjiptono said.

"We are trying to find out where it was made and who put it there," he said. -- JP
