The Temple Police Department advised residents to avoid the 3700 block on Lynx Trail after finding a potentially dangerous device, the agency said in a tweet Monday afternoon.
At 11:30 a.m., officers were executing a search warrant when they found a possible explosive device in the area. The search warrant was being executed to look for suspected contraband in the home.
Two suspects in the home â a male and a female â were detained while the department called the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives and the McLennan County Sheriffâs Department.
Police spokeswoman Alejandra Arreguin said the McLennan County department was called due to them being the closest agency available with the resources to handle the explosives.
