CYNTHIANA, Ky. (LEX 18) — Police have reopened a street in Cynthiana after finding what they're calling a homemade pipe bomb.
The Cynthiana Police Department says the owner of a rental house on Springdale Avenue found the bomb while cleaning up and then called for help.
The Lexington Hazardous Devices Unit arrived soon after, removed the device, and rendered the pipe bomb safe.
The house is down the street from Harrison County High School, so the area was evacuated, and bus routes nearby were rerouted.
Cynthiana Police is handling the investigation along with ATF.
