Can a grenade vaporize another grenade? Or set off another nearly simultaneously?

Someone fucked up and is covering up evidence.

I wonder if the confiscated grenades match the model of the one that exploded...

It depends on the type of grenade, but it'd likely destroy a nearby grenade without detonating it. The explosive mixture in most grenades requires a very high temperature to ignite (provided by the primer), and the blast from a nearby grenade probably wouldn't transfer enough heat to start a second explosion.
