An early morning explosion that prompted numerous 911 calls led to the recovery of improvised explosive devices on Tuesday, said Yreka Police Department Lt. Chris Betts.
The incendiary devices, thought to be pipe bombs, were found when officers with the Yreka Police Department and the Yreka Fire Department responded to the 100 block of Bruce Street just before 4:15 a.m., Betts said.
One of the devices had been detonated and the other partially detonated, Betts said. The Siskiyou County Sheriff’s Office Bomb Squad responded and over the next three hours, safely collected the devices.
A pipe bomb is in improvised explosive device made by putting explosives into a section of sealed pipe. They can include materials like glass and nails that cause more damage when they explode.
