An old military ordnance has been removed after it reportedly washed up at a popular park in Nova Scotia’s Hants County. The RCMP responded to Burntcoat Head Park in Noel along with the Canadian Armed Forces around 10 a.m. Wednesday. “People in the area of Burntcoat Head Park can expect to hear a muffled explosion, similar to the sound of a gunshot, as the safe disposal of this item is taking place,” said police in a statement on Facebook. The parking lot at the end of Faulkner Lane was closed to the public. It has since reopened. Police do not believe criminality to be a factor.
