The Vancouver based unit was called to the area after police responded to what neighbours believe was a bomb that had been detonated in the back yard of the Windsor Avenue home Thursday afternoon.

“We evacuated the home at 225 Windsor and the neighbours surrounding them,” said RCMP Sgt. Kurt Lozinski.

“We secured off the residence and acquired the appropriate search warrants.”

Lozinski said the bomb disposal unit arrived Friday morning and have now “disposed of any other dangerous materials in the home.”

Lozinski said the home will now be secured to allow for RCMP members to do a thorough search of the residence.

The occupant of the home was taken into custody for questioning Thursday.

Lozinski said the man remains in custody.
