Two rocket launchers and a practice grenade were found in a trash can at a residence near a California middle school earlier this week, authorities said.
A community service officer with the Riverside County Sheriff's Department found the weapons while carrying out a search warrant in Temecula, Calif. Christopher Whetstone, 41, has been arrested on charges of grand theft through video footage and fingerprint evidence.
"During the service of a search warrant, evidence of the original crime was located, along with narcotics, and a bazooka," said Riverside County Sgt. Edward Soto.
Soto said, "Although there is a school located directly behind the concerned residence, a school was not directly involved in the incident."
Margarita Middle School is less than 3oo feet from the block where the weapons were found.

Both tubes were empty, and the "grenade was the blue practice grenade shell. None of them were dangerous, and they were not "destructive devices" as they were inert.
This is a case of idiocy on the part of law enforcement.
