Abandoned ammunition or explosive devices

• Never ever touch any abandoned ammunition or change its position.   
• The area where that ammunition is situated is a dangerous zone so you should warn any other people that are nearby. 
• As soon as you have found some abandoned ammunition inform the police immediately by calling 110. 

• Abandoned ammunition is definitely dangerous and you can not assess its risk.
• Despite the age lots of abandoned pieces have not lost their explosive force.
• Moreover the sensitivity is increased due to the weathering process, the chemical decomposition of detonating devices and the deformation following the impact. 

You should know that military explosives can be stored for almost unlimited time and they can remain live for years to come. Safety devices on grenades, bombs and mines have often been removed due to the impact or launch. Therefore the ammunition is extremely explosive.  

• Never touch any abandoned ammunition. 
• Even a minimal change in position, a push or pressure can cause an extremely dangerous explosion.
