RAPID CITY, S.D. — Workers at the Rapid City Landfill got a scare when they discovered what appeared to be three grenades on a recycling center conveyor belt.
The Rapid City Police Department says officers were called shortly after 1 p.m. Wednesday when workers discovered the devices. Police say the conveyor belt was shut down and the building was evacuated.
An explosive ordinance disposal team from Ellsworth Air Force Base near Rapid City was contacted. The team checked out the grenades and discovered they were training rounds.
The team destroyed the training grenades at the landfill. No one was hurt.
