A security guard had ordered the vehicle to turn around when he detected the smell of marijuana and saw the ordnance in plain sight, officials said.
Three civilians were arrested at Hawaii's Joint Base Pearl-Harbor-Hickam after a security guard spotted a live mortar round in a vehicle waiting to enter the main gate late Tuesday, military officials said.
An Explosive Ordnance Disposal team safely removed the round that Anthony described as “an explosive device” and “a deadly weapon.” He said no firing device was found in the car and it is unknown how the men obtained the device. A base spokesman said the three occupants of the vehicle were civilians, Hawaii News Now reported. Anthony said the individuals were in the custody of the Naval Criminal Investigative Service.Anthony said hundreds of people, usually lost, end up at the base gate each day and are turned around if they do not have authorization to enter.
The shooting happened days before dignitaries and veterans attended the base’s ceremony to mark the 78th anniversary of the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor.
