A shell was deposited on Monday in front of the Montivilliers fire station (Seine-Maritime), near Le Havre.
According to information from 76 Actu, a person would have brought it back around 2 p.m., after having probably found it in a flea market.
The deminers evacuate the shell
Municipal and national police quickly intervened and set up a security perimeter in the neighborhood.
Traffic was closed and a demining team went to the scene.
Jérôme Dubost, departmental councilor for Seine-Maritime, told the news site that the deminers had finally evacuated the shell.
Traffic was restored in the evening, around 7:30 p.m.
