Villanueva said the three grenades were found in the backyard of a home along Purdue Avenue.
A bomb squad was not requested, police told City News Service. Several streets were closed in the area, including Washington Boulevard, near the Department of Motor Vehicles office.
According to LAPD Officer Diana Figueroa, the scene has since been cleared and all roads are back open again. Figueroa did not provide any further information or details on the incident.
