La Grange, CA…Tuolumne County Sheriff’s Deputies received assistance from The Calaveras Bomb Squad yesterday morning at the Lake Don Pedro Storage Facility in La Grange to remove items of military ordnance.

The Bomb tech took possession of the 3 Japanese grenades, 2 American rifle grenades, 2 large mortar rounds, 3 pieces of Japanese ordnance, and a 20mm round to be disposed of in a safe manner.
