The police in Burgas cordoned off the area around block 17 in the "Meden Rudnik" residential complex due to a hand grenade being found.
The ammunition was found by a construction worker who was clearing the garbage from the common room in the basement of the block. The cleaning was related to the upcoming renovation of the building.
The grenade was heavily rusted. The man took it and went with it to the site manager to ask what to do with it. He told him to leave it in the grass in front of the block and to call tel. 112.
After the signal was sent, police teams arrived on the scene and cordoned off the area. It was not necessary to evacuate the building, as the grenade was already outside it. A team from the Navy is expected to arrive on site to secure and collect the ammunition.
Exactly a year ago in Burgas, the police evacuated part of a street in the center of Burgas due to a signal about a grenade found in an apartment. At that time, a man who was moving into one of the apartments in a residential building found a grenade in the wardrobe while clearing it and reported it to tel. 112.
