SUMMARY:
On Sunday, February 22, 2015, at approximately 4:30pm, Deputies received information that an explosive round was in the desert in the area of Bryman Road and Sunflower Lane in Oro Grande.
Deputies immediately responded to the area and located the device approximately 15’ east of the roadway and approximately 15’ from the Railroad Tracks. As a safety precaution, deputies evacuated residences in the immediate area and notified BNSF Railroad to stop any trains from travelling on the tracks.
The San Bernardino County Bombs and Arson Division and the San Bernardino County Fire Department responded to scene. The Anti- Aircraft Round was safely recovered by the Bomb and Arson Division for destruction. The device works similar to a bullet from a gun and cannot be discharged without a proper chain reaction.
