A 70-mm mortar shell that could date back to as long ago as World War I was taken for disposal June 20 from the front of police headquarters by the bomb commander of the State Police bomb squad.

The mortar was brought to the headquarters at about 11 a.m. by a township resident who said he found it in the bottom of a box of items he’d purchased at a garage sale, said police Lt. Darrin Russo.
