**TEMISKAMING OPP NEWS RELEASE**

On May 11, 2018 at approximately 3:40 p.m. members of the Temiskaming Detachment of the Ontario Provincial Police (OPP) responded to a police assistance call on Whitewood Avenue in Temiskaming Shores, Ontario.  The owner of the residence had been cleaning out an old shed located on the property and came across some old detonators.

 

Explosives Disposal Unit (EDU) attended the scene and assisted with the handling and disposal of the detonators.  Due to the sensitivity and poor condition of the detonators, EDU could not transport these devices and as such they were safely detonated in a hole dug in the sand.

 

There were no injuries or damage to property as a result.
