1 Day, 2 Grenades: Conn. Police Bomb Squad Handles Devices in Separate Calls

July 1, 2025
The Stamford police bomb squad removed a live grenade discovered in a residential backyard in Norwalk only hours after the unit dealt with a disabled and inert grenade found on the side of the road.
Podgorski said the Norwalk explosive detection dog and his handler conducted a sweep of the surrounding area and did not find any more suspicious devices. According to Google Maps, Wolfpit Avenue is about two miles away from St. Mary’s Lane.

Podgorski referred to the incidents as “suspicious” but did not give any indication whether police believe they are related.
