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.

The investigation is currently active.
