Police were startled when they got a call from a man in northwest Calgary, who said he’d found a suspicious device while walking his dog.
The man was walking in the 100 block of Evanston Circle N.W. when he came across what looked like a pipe bomb.
Police responded in force, blocking off a wide section of the neighbourhood so they could safely investigate.
It was later determined that the device wasn’t a bomb, but rather a plastic cylinder with a screw-off top.
Police say it was likely a geocache hide.
