A military-style rocket-propelled grenade found in a customized van was disarmed and hauled off to the Orange County Sheriff’s headquarters in Santa Ana.
The sheriff’s bomb squad called the Marines’ Explosive Ordnance Detail from Camp Pendleton to disarm the weapon.
Marines detonated the device found in a recently stolen and recovered 2005 Ford E350 van with three explosives before the van was declared safe, and the device was taken from the scene.
Sheriff’s deputies were called to the 24000 block of Via Portola at about 12:45 p.m. Friday when Ernie Adkins, the van’s owner, found the grenade stashed in the overhead rack.
Adkins’ reported his van stolen a few weeks ago. Upland police recovered the van and returned it to him.
