Per ABC 7 News:
More explosive devices were found at a Prince George’s County, Maryland, park roughly a day after crews found five other similar devices.
Prince George’s County Fire and EMS Department crews returned to Fort Washington Park after finding several more suspected pipe bombs in a remote section of the park. Officials did not provide an exact number.
The Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms, and Explosives (ATF) said the devices will be taken to its laboratory in the Beltsville, Md., area.
On Sunday, US Park Police officers found five suspected pipe bomb devices, which were all “rendered safe.”
Currently, the National Park Service’s website lists Fort Washington Park as closed until further notice.
The ATF noted that the devices were not recently placed in the park’s woods.
The devices will now be sent to the ATF National Laboratory Center in Ammendale
