Bremerton – Bomb Squad Removes Suspicious Device

Bremerton police called in the state patrol bomb squad Sunday evening after discovering a suspicious device near the Westpark housing area.

The item was found at about 6:30 p.m. off of Russell Road. It was a large plastic water bottle wrapped in a sweatshirt and secured with electrical wire. The bottle’s opening was sealed with plastic, tape and a zip tie to possibly contain pressure. The bottle had broken into several pieces, possibly from pressure inside it.

It appeared to be some sort of pressure device, like a dry ice bomb, according to a police report.

The device was checked out by a robot, loaded into an explosives trailer and taken to the Bremerton firing range, where it was rendered safe.
