A search by members of the Canadian Border Services Agency at a home in Moncton has resulted in an arrest and the disposal of an “incendiary device.”
On Thursday, New Brunswick RCMP say, the CBSA conducted a search of a home on Lee Drive just off Elmwood Drive.
While conducting the search, officials found what appeared to be an incendiary device.
As a result, RCMP officers and members of the RCMP’s Explosives Disposal Unit responded to the scene.
Police say nearby homes were evacuated as a precaution as the device was safely removed and disposed.
No one was hurt in the incident and residents were allowed to return to their home at approximately 5:30 p.m.
