The Clovis Police Department received a call from a homeowner at 4th Street and Oxford Ave. who said he saw a paper sack with what looked like a suspicious object inside. Officers closed off 4th Street between Cherry Lane and Oxford Ave.
A robot was used to put what appeared to be four homemade explosives into a bucket of water to help neutralize them. The bomb squad then took the explosives to an area outside the city to render them safe.
