Bang!!!!

Wythenshawe Police Station (GMP) in England was evacuated on Monday after a hand grenade was handed in.

A female member of the public walked in with the grenade and two rounds of ammunition which she handed over to an officer at the front desk of the station.

Bomb disposal officers were called and the station was evacuated.

A cordon with a radius of 100 metres was set up, as a result of which local roads required to be closed to traffic.

Nearby residents were advised to stay indoors and stay away from windows.

Inspector Jon Percival said: "We would like to advise members of the public that when they find hand grenades, or any type of ammunition, to call the police immediately rather than pick the items up."

A police source said that after the evacuation and cordons were put in place the woman asked "Once you'd made it safe can I have it back "

Hey…..Perhaps she really did believe in “finders keepers”
