The Canadian Press, 30 Nov, 2016 01:39 PM
    PENTICTON, B.C. — A woman in Penticton, B.C., has suffered minor injuries after trying to open what appeared to be a Christmas package left on her property.
     
    Dorothy Czerniak says she found a small parcel in holiday wrapping paper at the foot of her driveway Wednesday morning.
     
    She says she brought the package inside and was trying to open it with a knife when it exploded. 
     
    The blast singed Czerniak's face and caused a small fire.
     
    Czerniak's son called 911 and a section of their mobile home park was put on lockdown.
     
    Penticton RCMP have not released any information about the investigation.
