RCMP confirms they dumped a suspicious device in a West Kelowna home on Sunday.
In a press release on Wednesday morning, police say the RCMP Explosives Disposal Unit safely disposed of the device.
The West Kelowna RCMP visited a house on the 2600 block of Cameron Road as part of what they described as an investigation.
The officers found a possible improvised explosive device in the apartment.
Officers evacuated the area and the device was safely removed from the crime scene and disposed of at a secondary location.
“The investigation showed that this device was not related to the shooting in Kelowna on July 31,” said Staff Sgt. Duncan Dixon.
“Examination of the device revealed that it was an attempt at a self-made battery, but it was unstable and potentially dangerous.”
The investigation is ongoing and further details have not been disclosed.
