Lawrence police called in a bomb squad from Leavenworth Wednesday afternoon to remove three World War II-era grenades that were found in the 4700 block of Carmel Court in west Lawrence.

Sgt. Trent McKinley, a police spokesman, said a Lawrence-Douglas County Fire Medical supervisor notified police about finding the objects, two of which were inert and found not to be dangerous. McKinley said police called in the bomb squad to take possession of the items, which is routine practice when potential explosives are found.
