FOUND DEVICE - 6/28/08
On 6/28/08, the Spartanburg County CERT Team provided support services for those on scene in addition to blocking access to the scene. We would like to thank Food Lion and Big Lots for bottle water donation. In addition, we would like to thank Hardees for the ice and makeshift ice chests.. For more info, read the WSPA article below and check out the video footage from WHNS (21) and WSPA (7). What Spartanburg County deputies are calling a "homemade explosive device" was discovered on Allen Avenue near Cleveland Park this afternoon . A man renovating a home near 124 Allen Avenue discovered the pipe bomb and called deputies. The Spartanburg County Bomb Team was dispatched to the scene, and disarmed the explosive. The Reverse 911 system was used to alert people on the surrounding streets, and people near the home were asked to evacuate to nearby Cleveland Park. There were no injuries, and the investigation continues as to why a bomb was left at the home. Residents have been allowed back to their homes.
