Bomb Squad Investigates Suspicious Device In Aurora
AURORA, Colo. (CBS4)- Crews with the Arapahoe County Bomb Squad investigated a suspicious device left in a field on Saturday morning that turned out to be a false alarm.
The device was found by a man as he was walking through the field near Idalia and Mississippi. He picked it up and then called police.
The bomb squad was called in to investigate. They X-rayed the device and then cut it open to investigate.
"I looked at it, I picked it up, there was a little bit of weight, and I thought I better put it down and get somebody over here quick," said Sidney Byington. "It looked dangerous with all the tape and wires all over it. Now that I look at it, it could still be dangerous, small cans do explode."
The device turned out to be an aerosol can wrapped in duct tape with wires attached.
Investigators are working to figure out where the device came from before they identify any suspects.
