A man in his 50s reports on Friday that he has found a "hollow and rusty" grenade in Hågadalen, a nature reserve that previously served as a shooting range for the military.

The man takes the grenade-like object with him in his car and wants to hand it in at the police station, which he is denied.

He is instead advised to move his vehicle to a place with good distance from people and buildings until a police patrol arrives.

After a quick inspection, it appears that the object consists of harmless scrap iron.

It is likely a former training grenade.

National bomb protection does not need to be called in on the matter.

This is what you should do if you find suspected ammunition on the military's abandoned shooting ranges:

• Do not touch the object at all.
• Mark the location without touching the object.
• Call the Police on 114 14.
