Western Australia Police said a man fishing off the Applecross Jetty in Perth about 2 a.m. Tuesday reeled in an object that appeared to be an explosive device and police called in a Bomb Response Unit, which identified the object as a 1915 German Granatenwerfer grenade without a fuse.

Geoff Smith of the Western Australian Arms and Armament Society told The Guardian the grenade was likely brought back to Australia as a souvenir following the war. "It has to have been brought back by someone and then dumped. It's the only way it could have got there," Smith said.
