REAL LIFE NEWS: IS THAT A ROCKET IN YOUR POCKET?

by Hazed

Police who stopped a teenager in a routine traffic stop a few weeks ago were astonished to discover he had a rocket-propelled grenade launcher sitting on the back seat of his SUV.

The 15-year old boy was driving the vehicle blasting out loud music around 9.40am, so officers pulled him over. When they saw the RPG in the back they arrested him. They also shut down the busy road and evacuated nearby businesses. A bomb squad robot was sent in, presumably to see if there were any other little surprises in the SUV.

Police said that the RPG was fully functional, but the grenade itself wasn't found.

The big question is: how did the teenager get hold of this weapon? Police are looking into reports that he has a brother that was, or still is, in the military. Meanwhile, he's been booked into juvenile hall on felony charges including possession of a destructive device.
