'Explosive type of compound' neutralized by Phoenix PD at apartment complex
PHOENIX - Detectives with the Phoenix Police Department bomb squad neutralized a "suspicious item" found in the front office of an apartment complex on Monday night.
It was found to be "an explosive type of compound," police said.
Officers responded to the complex near 24th Street and Thomas Road on May 27 after a woman "dropped off a suspicious item at the front office and made a threat to the employee."
The unidentified woman was arrested and booked into jail before being hospitalized.
"Due to unrelated health issues, the woman was released into the custody of a local hospital for treatment," police said. "Charges for being in possession of a prohibited weapon will be submitted to Maricopa County Attorney’s Office for prosecution."
Roads were closed in the area, but have reopened.
