SEPANG: A lorry driver who picked up a heavy package from a pile of rubbish in Sungai Balak, Kajang, was stunned to discover it contained three mortar bombs.

Making the discovery even more alarming, the Roll On Roll Off (Roro) lorry driver had unknowingly transported the package all the way back to his home in Kampung Dato' Ahmad Razali here.

Md Raduan Ghani, 41, said he had started work as usual around 4am on Friday, collecting and disposing of rubbish.

"I drove the lorry to Sungai Balak in Kajang to carry out rubbish disposal work. I separated some of the heavier items.

"After finishing work, I returned home and the red plastic package which I had separated earlier was still in the lorry. I had no idea what was inside," he said when met outside his home this evening.
