Peñablanca, Cagayan – While conducting an inventory of various metals sold at his junk shop, a businessman in Camasi, Peñablanca, discovered an explosive on Wednesday, Sept. 27.

Alarmed with what he found, he immediately notified police in the area.

Before heading to the junk shop, Peñablanca police informed the Explosive Ordnance Disposal (EOD), being the concerned unit on explosives.

Once there, police confirmed the explosive found was an 81mm cartridge vintage bomb.

The bomb was already ferried by EOD/K9 Unit 2 to their office for proper disposition.
