The Redlands police station was evacuated Thursday after a woman came in with a pipe bomb she had found near an irrigation channel and kept in her apartment overnight.
Police took the bomb, which had a fuse, to a back parking lot, where the San Bernardino County Sheriff’s Department bomb squad detonated it. The several dozen people evacuated returned within minutes.
The woman discovered the bomb near the Zanja irrigation channel by Brookside Avenue and Ash Street. Investigators are trying to determine who built it.
Anyone with information is asked to call (909) 798-7681.
