Deschutes County sheriff’s deputies responded to a home in Terrebonne early Sunday afternoon to investigate a report that a resident found old explosive devices. Deputies called in the Oregon State Bomb Squad, and they detonated the devices at another location. No one was injured, and there was no property damage.

Law enforcement first learned of the explosive devices shortly before 1 p.m. Sunday, when a man in Terrebonne called Deschutes County dispatch to report that he found “old blasting caps while going through some items he recently inherited,” according to a Sheriff’s Office media release. The items, including an ammunition can full of wiring and an unknown number of blasting caps, were in a shed at the back of the homeowner’s property, Sgt. Troy Gotchy wrote in the release.

Deputies sent a photo of the items to the Oregon State Police Bomb Squad, which arrived after 4 p.m. In the meantime, the homeowner left the premises and deputies secured the property until after the bomb squad removed the devices. The Sheriff’s Office would like to remind the public that if anyone finds an item that could be an explosive device, they should stay away from it and call 911 immediately.
