They didn't know, nor did they expect that routine works would be the reason why they were going to discover in their home the existence of a mortar grenade. It happened at about half past nine on Wednesday night, when the tenant of a house in the Titerroy neighborhood, found the projectile on one of the lofts of his house. He immediately notified the National Police, who contacted the bomb disposal group of the Civil Guard.

When the Tedax officers arrived, they intervened the grenade, of which its origin and the reasons why it was in the house are unknown. Although, according to some sources, it could be from the Civil War, since it is an "old device". The projectile, which was in good condition, was transferred to a military powder magazine for deactivation.
