A Japanese man in his 70s walked into the police station carrying a plastic bag containing a World War II bomb, which frightened the police to evacuate about 1,500 people from the police station and the surrounding area, with no casualties.
According to Japan's "Sky News 24 Hours" website reported on the 22nd, this scene was staged in Asahikawa City, Hokkaido on the 18th. The remains are about 8 cm in diameter and 28 cm in length. Later, the Japanese Ground Self-Defense Force rushed to the scene and inspected the shell and found that there was no explosive inside the shell and it was not dangerous.
The old man found the bomb more than 40 years ago when he demolished a relative's house and has been storing it in the attic ever since. Due to his old age, he hoped that the shell would be properly disposed of before his death, and decided to send it to the traffic.
The old man had no criminal record. The report did not mention whether he would be punished for such acts.
The very next day, more than 10 more bombs were found at a construction site in Otaru, Hokkaido. According to the "Sky News 24 Hours" statement, due to the long-term damage to the fuse, many of the remains of the bomb are unstable, even a slight collision may lead to an explosion, should be treated with caution.
