Release is according to the Cherry Hill Police Department.
On Saturday November 10 at approximately 12:30 p.m. two individuals were magnet fishing in the area of the Cuthbert Boulevard bridge over Cooper River. With the use of a magnet, the individuals were able to pull out what appeared to be an old military style projectile. They immediately notified police and the area was secured for the safety of the public. The ordnance showed signs of being submerged for a lengthy period of time. The Camden County Sheriff’s Department Bomb Squad Unit arrived and managed safe transport of the ordnance away from the area until they could determine a controlled disposal method. The secured area was reopened to the public at approximately 4:00 PM.
