The Hawai’i Police Department reports that on May 25, 2024 at approximately 3:30 p.m., the Transfer Station in the 74-0600 block of Hale Makai Place has been reopened after the Hawai’i Inter-Island Bomb Squad and the EOD determined that all ordinances were inert.

On May 25, 2024, at approximately 12:04 p.m., Kona Patrol Officers responded to a call for Unexploded Ordinances in the Metal Recycling Bin within the Transfer Station.

Upon the Officers’ arrival on the scene, they discovered what appeared to be numerous Unexploded military-grade ordinances, a severe and potentially dangerous situation, that had been placed in the transfer station’s Metal Recycling bin.

The Transfer Station was immediately closed, awaiting the arrival of the Hawaii Inter-Island Bomb Squad.
