Mortar shell and canister containing rocket fuel safely removed from Kensington Municipal Building

Kensington Police say that the Canadian Armed Forces responded to Kensington’s suspicious items investigation Tuesday morning and safely removed two items from Kensington’s Municipal Building.  Police say that a WWII-era mortar shell, which was confirmed to be spent and no longer dangerous, was removed.  Also removed was a canister containing rocket fuel, found to be half full and still potentially hazardous.  As a precautionary measure, the Municipal Building was closed and secured by Kensington Police until the items could be properly assessed by military experts.
