In March of 2017, employees at a local Charlotte production facility discovered what appeared to be military ammunition buried on their property, and just now, witnesses reported flames and smoke visible on the roof of the Charlotte Frito-Lay plant.
The plant is located in the 2900 block of Nevada Boulevard in southwest Charlotte, NC.

The Charlotte Fire Department tweeted around 3:10 p.m. that the plant was being evacuated.
At approximately 5:37 p.m., Wednesday, March 29 officers along with members of the Charlotte Fire Department responded to the Frito-Lay Factory located at 2911 Nevada Boulevard in reference to suspicious property found.
An employee of Frito Lay told officers that they were digging on the property and found unexploded ammunition and mortars. Employees immediately stopped digging, so the number of shells and mortars are unknown at this time. source
