Dayton police Lt. Jason Hall said the device had been in the sewer for a long time and had to be chiseled out.
“They were able to lower a robot down and they got pictures and determined that the device was there,” said Sgt. Creigee S. Coleman. “With the assistance of the techs on the bomb squad and the leader of the bomb squad the device was recovered and is now at a secure location. They are examining it to see if it’s live or determine the authenticity of the device.”
Personnel from the Dayton Fire Department said the item may have been a training device.
