Apparent 'homemade explosive device' found in Pasadena
PASADENA -- Police summoned a bomb squad to the 400 block of North Sierra Madre Boulavard late Wednesday after what appeared to be a small homemade bomb was found, authorities said.
Officers went to a home about 8:20 p.m. to investigate a report of a "suspicious item" found inside, Pasadena police officials said in a written statement.
"The appearance of the item led officers to believe it was a small homemade explosive device," the statement said. "Officers evacuated the home and homes on both sides of the residence as a precaution."
The Los Angeles County Sheriff's Bomb Squad was called in to deal with the item, officials said.
No further details were available.
