A pipe bomb defused this week in Nelson was found on a rural property in Oasis.
Nelson Police said a youth found the explosive device in the Trail area on Tuesday and brought it home. His parents called police and locked it in a shed until an RCMP bomb squad arrived the next day to dispose of it. Police said that it had the potential to kill or seriously hurt someone.
Trail RCMP now say the bomb came from a property on Hanna Drive and was discovered while someone was looking at a camper trailer for sale on the property. The bomb was discovered near a pile of trash.
RCMP have since searched the Oasis property, but say they didn’t locate any other explosives.
