While checking the abandoned house for occupants, deputies located suspicious devices outside the residence
On Monday (Sept. 9) at approximately 9:09 a.m., Clark County Sheriff’s Office dispatch received a 9-1-1 call from a company hired by the bank to clean up the property at 7108 NE 133rd Ave in Vancouver.
A broken window and writing on the walls made the employee’s think that there may be occupants in the abandoned house. The 9-1-1 caller requested a deputy check the house for occupants. While checking the abandoned house for occupants, deputies located suspicious devices outside the residence.
Based on the possibility of the items being possibly explosive, the regional explosive detonation unit was called to assist in making the house safe. Some items that may have been dangerous were detonated in a controlled manner by the EDU Unit. The streets around the residence were closed off for the safety of people passing by. The investigation is currently active.
