Kent police are urging the public not to transport explosives after multiple devices were brought to the police department building and one to a business., earlier this week a man found something he thought might be a bomb and took it to a local business. Police said the man thought the business could help him dispose of the item.The business then called 911. KPD’s Sergeant Clay and his crew responded and called in the Port of Seattle Bomb Squad.
Kent officers then guarded the scene until the bomb squad arrived and disassembled the homemade device. Personnel from the Port of Seattle told Kent police that if the device exploded, it would have caused significant harm to anyone close by. Another person brought in fireworks that had “been significantly altered to the point that if the had exploded in his trunk he would have at a bare minimum lost the back end of his car,” reported KPD.Old military devices that have explosive powder/liquid, even if someone said it has been “made safe.”
