Catch of the day grenade exploded | NEWS.com.au

AN army bomb disposal unit has detonated a hand grenade a fisherman took home after catching it in a trawler net off Queensland's Redcliffe Peninsula.

Police evacuated 14 houses at Scarborough, north of Brisbane, and cordoned off the area when the fisherman called them today to say he had the World War II British hand grenade at his Lucas Street home.

He'd found it in the net while working on the trawler yesterday.

Army bomb ordinance officers were called this afternoon and removed the grenade to a safe place before blowing it up.

The residents were then allowed to return to their homes.
