PEABODY — A local resident found a three pound British armor piercing artillery shell in the basement of their home Monday. In a tweet and Facebook post, the police department said Massachusetts State Police 'took possession and rendered it safe without incident at the Farm Ave dump.' "Yesterday afternoon, State Police Bomb Squad Troopers had to handle a piece of ordnance that might have been manufactured for use against German tanks in North Africa or Normandy," a statement from Massachusetts State Police on Facebook said.
