The Guardia Civil's TEDAX explosives unit examined the grenade, which was very old and appeared to have no charge. It was taken to a finca on the outskirts of Santa Margalida, where it was buried so that a controlled explosion could be carried out. This confirmed that the grenade didn't have a charge.

The Guardia Civil and National Police stress that anyone who finds an explosive device should not touch it and should immediately call an emergency number.
