An 8-year-old girl made an unusual discovery in a Minneapolis park Monday night.

Aurelie Burston found a round of ammunition for a bazooka rocket launcher near a tree in Columbia Park on the city’s northeast side.

“I thought, like, it was a bomb or a rocket,” said Burston. Her older brother, Lucian, quickly offered to buy it from her.

“I’d give all the money I had for that rocket,” Lucian Burston told 5 EYEWITNESS NEWS. Aurelie agreed to the deal and sold it to him for $4.

The children took it home and showed their grandmother, Sue Latham. She looked it up on the internet and learned it was a two-foot, nine-pound dummy rocket head for a super bazooka rocket launcher.

“I was relieved actually to find out it was a practice rocket,” said Latham.

After learning what her grandchildren had found, Latham called police to turn it in.

Minneapolis Police took the device away and are treating the case as a criminal investigation.

They are treating the case as a criminal investigation.......
first off the girls are under 21, complicate it with Mpls and MN laws, then throw in the ATF and it goes down hill after that........

The law that was broken was some kids had a cool souvenir that the police wanted.

So you're saying that the law wasn't broken, just brokenhearted?

Sure, it's just a dummy rocket for $4 now but the next thing you know it will be plane loads of AKs for conflict diamonds...
