Fake Explosive Found, Blown Up
Foster Township Police Chief Tom Munn say says a person walking in the woods about a quarter of a mile from the WESB studio found the device and called city police at around 10 p.m. They determined it was in the township, and called them. Police sent photos to the bomb squad, who told them to cordon off the area.
Once the bomb squad arrived, the X-rayed they device and did not believe it was real. They did blow it up as a precaution, but the device did not contain any explosives.
Munn say it was a box with a calculator attached and wires leading into paint cans in the box. But he reiterated there were no explosives in it.
“Nothing about it was real,” Munn said.
He would like to talk to the person who put it there, though. Anyone with information on the device and how it got there can contact Munn at the township police station.
