The Dayton Bomb Squad responded to a Sugarcreek Twp. apartment complex Tuesday morning after FBI agents found suspicious devices.

The FBI was executing a court-ordered search warrant in the 1800 block of Surrey Trail. During a search to secure the apartment, an FBI SWAT member discovered suspicious devices, said Todd Lindgren, FBI public affairs specialist.

“Out of an abundance of caution, adjacent apartments were evacuated and the Dayton Police Bomb Squad was contacted to provide support,” he added. “The residence has been cleared of any dangers and the routine law enforcement operation is continuing.”

It was not clear if anyone was taken into custody.

In addition to the FBI and bomb squad, Sugarcreek Twp. police and Greene County Sheriff’s Office also responded.
