SASKATOON – The Explosive Disposal Unit seized an explosive device for destruction following a call for service to an automotive salvage compound last week.
At around 9:45 a.m. on June 13, police were called to a compound in the 100 block of English Crescent for a report of an explosive device being found in a salvaged vehicle. Upon arrival, officers confirmed the device to be a commercial-grade explosive and advised businesses in the area to shelter-in-place. The Explosive Disposal Unit attended to the compound, secured the explosive, and seized it for destruction without incident.
Police cleared the scene a short time later and lifted the shelter-in-place order for nearby businesses.
