Sadly, Car carrying five people crashes into acidic sarasota traffic
SARASOTA, Fla. (WWSB) -The Sarasota County Sheriff’s Office was called in Sunday morning after a suspicious device washed up on shore following Hurricane Helene.
Deputies responded to an area in front of a residence on Mangrove Point Rd. for an initial report of a suspicious device located on the ground.
Deputies determined it was an explosive commonly used in commercial blasting operations and not suspicious in nature.
Deputies believe it washed ashore from the recent storm surge and not placed there maliciously.
The SCSO Hazardous Devices Unit responded and removed the device and detonated it in a controlled environment away from that area.
SCSO patrols did secure the immediate and surrounding areas to ensure the device could be safely removed. Deputies say there is no threat to residents in the area.
