BEVERLY, MASS. (WHDH) - An explosive device was delivered to the Beverly Police Department Friday afternoon, officials said.
A junk removal company found the device and brought it to the police department on Elliott Street at around 4:14 p.m., according to Beverly police.
The Massachusetts State Police Bomb Squad responded to the scene, police said.
The Junk Haul truck, along with much of the police department parking lot, was taped off Friday afternoon.
The Beverly Police Department announced that the device is believed to be a training aid, but the bomb squad responded to safely dispose of the device out of an abundance of caution.
“Police urge anyone who finds a possible incendiary device to call police from their current location, and not to bring such devices to the police station,” the department said in a statement.
