Employees at Goodwill Manasota’s Cortez Road store were shocked this weekend when they discovered what appeared to be a loaded grenade launcher inside a box of donated items.
The staff immediately called 911.
“We’re used to receiving unusual donations — gold teeth, livestock — but anytime a firearm is found we immediately call the authorities,” Goodwill Manasota spokeswoman Veronica Miller said Thursday morning.
Manatee County Sheriff’s Deputy Sandra Keller was dispatched to the store, where she was met by the manager, Lekesha Dunbar.
“I observed a grenade launcher while in her office that did have a grenade inside that had not yet been fired,” Keller wrote in her report. “I was able to remove the grenade from the launcher.”
The deputy turned over the launcher to her agency’s property division, and put the grenade in a hazardous materials locker.
Miller said the Goodwill Manasota store received the device in a box full of other donated items, which was delivered after hours from another store.
The original donor is not known.
Miller sent a picture of the launcher and grenade to the Herald-Tribune.
The device is a toy Airsoft replica of the military’s M203 grenade launcher.
