POLICE are attempting to locate an anti-personnel mine missing from in the Greenbank Training Area at Greenbank in Brisbane's south.
The matter was reported to police after the device - a Claymore mine - was identified as unaccounted for following an Army exercise in late January.
Authorities described the mine as a horizontally convex green plastic case supported by two pairs of scissor legs attached to the bottom.
The device is approximately 22cm long, 12cm high and 4cm wide and weighs approximately 1.5kg.
A Claymore mine is capable of firing hundreds of lethal ball bearings about 100 metres within a 60-degree arc.
If anyone finds the device, they should leave it in place and report the matter to Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000.
