Grenade found among the spuds on chip factory conveyor belt

The old Mills bomb grenade, which has since been confirmed as being a training grenade which didn’t contain explosives, is believed to have been dug up during harvesting on a farm in Matamata. Mr Chips factory operations manager Roland Spitaels said the mud covered device was spotted on a conveyor belt full of freshly harvested potatoes in the early hours of the morning. MORE
