A bizarre situation prompted the evacuation of several houses in the College and Bathurst streets area early Friday.
A woman found an apparently-old bomb under some outside stairs at her home on Borden Street, where she’s lived for about a month. When her dad saw the shell, he told her to call police.
“I’d seen it around a lot and kind of like, tapped it with my foot wondering what it was,” Kelsey Coultier said. “My dad is in the military and he saw it and said … that’s definitely a bomb.”
The bomb was taken away and detonated safely and residents returned to their homes later Friday morning.
