A bomb squad detonated an 'improvised grenade' in a northwest Miami-Dade County neighborhood on Monday afternoon.

The object was found at Northwest 102nd Street and Northwest 15th Avenue, and someone called police.

The bomb squad detonated the suspicious object, which resembled a grenade. Miami-Dade police said the object was an improvised grenade. They said it was similar to a hollowed-out grenade sold at an Army/Navy surplus store, filled with something. They did not know what it was filled with.

The object was taken to a lab to determine if the material was dangerous.

Police did not say where or who it came from.

The object was near a sidewalk and next to a chain-link fence in front of a home.

No evacuations were ordered, but Northwest 102nd Street was blocked off by police.
