OLDSMAR - The Hillsborough County Bomb Squad was sent to an Oldsmar neighborhood after a group of children found a grenade.
Personnel from the Pinellas County Sheriff's Office and fire department responded to the southwest corner of Meridan and Huron avenues at 4:47 p.m. Sunday.
The bomb squad was requested and they determined the pineapple-shaped grenade was inert. Bomb squad members said the grenade was the type that could be bought from a military surplus store.
About 25 residents were evacuated for an hour while the situation was investigated.
