Stockholm: A young child sparked panic at his Swedish pre-school when he brought in a grenade he found on a military firing range to show his friends, local officials said Wednesday.
###
The child arrived with the grenade in his hand at the school in the southern town of Kristianstad on Tuesday.
###
A teacher who saw the grenade contacted police.
###
Police officers were able to determine it was a “dangerous” grenade the boy had picked up this summer at the Rinkaby firing range, located outside Kristianstad.
###
They blocked off the area and the national bomb squad neutralised the ammunition at the scene several hours later.
###
“We don’t know how bad the damages would have been” if it had exploded, a police spokesman told AFP.
