“Seized grenade declared a dud”
Dalson Chen, Windsor Star
Published: Tuesday, July 29, 2008

ARTICLE SNIPPET: “According to Smith, the grenade had a blue handle, which indicates it’s used for practice by military personnel.

The vehicle was a Lincoln Navigator with U.S. plates. It was carrying three Canadian citizens and three U.S. citizens when it crossed the bridge and tried to enter Detroit around 7:30 p.m.”

ARTICLE SNIPPET: “Once the device was found to be a dud, all of the vehicle’s occupants were allowed to continue on their way, pending further investigation.”

No charges were laid. “It was discovered that there was no nefarious reason for (the grenade),” Smith said.”

19 hours ago

ARTICLE SNIPPET: “DETROIT — Authorities at Detroit’s Ambassador Bridge found more than air in a spare tire.

Customs agents say the tire on a minivan driven by a Canadian was crammed with 17 kilograms of ecstasy, an illegal amphetamine.

The drugs were discovered Saturday when Adwar Odisho attempted to enter Detroit. He told agents he was crossing the U.S. border to purchase auto parts.”
