A report of a grenade on a sidewalk in Rancho San Diego prompted a response from a bomb squad that was quickly cleared Wednesday.
A man walking his dog spotted what appeared to be a grenade at about 10 a.m. near Hillsdale Road and Corona Vista, less than a mile from Vista Grande Elementary School and north of Cottonwood Two County Park, the San Diego Sheriff’s Department said.
SDSO said closed some roads and diverted traffic as the sheriff's bomb/arson strike team investigated.
By about 11:15 a.m, the scene had been cleared after SDSO investigators determined it was a smoke grenade that did not pose a threat, the San Miguel Fire Department said.
No other information was available.
