\The OHP bomb squad was called to Henryetta after a suspicious object was found by a homeowner Tuesday.
The object was described as bottles containing what smelled like a flammable liquid and were taped together in a plastic bag.
Henryetta police cordoned off the yard at the intersection of North Third and Hickory blocking access to the neighborhood until the object could be removed.
“When there is something like this, we are going to be cautious,” said police chief Steve Norman. “These devices can look harmless but are sometimes made to go off at the least little touch. Shrapnel from these objects can spread over a wide area and injure and kill a lot of people.”
A similar object was believed to have been found near the house involved in a shooting investigation Monday.
In both cases, agents from the Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms (ATF) were called to the scene to help in the investigation.
The police chief said once the object has been examined by bomb squad personnel, a full investigation into where it came from will be held.
