A Spring Valley apartment complex was evacuated Saturday night after a cache of military-style explosives was found nearby.
A man is jailed, but investigators are not saying much about the explosives found in a storage building that apparently prompted the arrest.
The ordnance was discovered in a concrete block storage room in the 9700 block of Dale Avenue around 7 p.m. Saturday, San Diego County sheriff’s Lt. Larry Nesbit said.
A nearby apartment complex was evacuated for nearly three hours while members of the sheriff’s Bomb-Arson Unit cleared the explosives, Nesbit said.
The lieutenant was unable to provide details about what kind ofexplosives were in the storage room, or how the man in custody was connected to them.
