ATHOL, MA (WHDH) — A suspicious find forced the Athol Police Department to evacuate.
Investigators said someone brought a pipe to the police station after finding it on the side of the road Tuesday.
The Massachusetts State Police Bomb Squad was called in and determined that the device was a firework and that it was not dangerous.
Police said the person who found the firework should not have touched it because he could’ve but himself others in danger.
