Original Post: 9:44 a.m. The Waynesboro Police Department is on the scene of an incident behind the 500 block of Edwardian Lane involving possible unexploded dynamite that was located by workers in the area this morning.
Currently the area is cordoned off and Virginia State Police as well as other state hazmat resources are being requested.
