Bomb squad checks out sinister objects in Lakebay shed. Here’s what they found

Mines found in Lakebay garden shed

A homeowner was cleaning up her property in the 300 block of 198th Ave NW and getting it ready to sell on June 9 when her movers found two suspicious devices in her shed. They were in a green Army burlap bag and looked like they could be dangerous, so she called 911. A Pierce County Sheriff’s Department bomb technician responded and determined that the devices were inert M33 Claymore training mines. At the homeowner’s request, the bomb tech took both of the devices with him. They will be safely destroyed. The homeowner believes the devices belonged to her husband, who is former military but no longer lives at the residence.
