The Saskatchewan RCMP’s Explosive Disposal Unit responded to a report about unused explosives found on a rural property near Outlook on Sunday, April 14th. The EDU successfully disposed of ten sticks of bulk explosives.

The Saskatchewan RCMP’s Weekly Report says, every year the highly trained EDU recovers a substantial amount of unused commercial explosives from rural properties and disposes of them safely and free of charge. The EDU encourages anyone who finds explosives or detonators not to touch them and instead call the police. RCMP Constable Chris Donnelly says, “Please remember that no matter how old an explosive is, it can still be extremely dangerous.”
