Audi timing belt tensioner prompts Utah bomb squad visit
An aftermarket timing belt tensioner found in a Salt Lake City apartment prompted a visit from the bomb squad this week after it was mistaken for a potential explosive device. Police partially evacuated the apartment complex in which it was found "out of an abundance of caution" and called in their Hazardous Devices Unit (HDU) to isolate and remove the unattended, unclaimed car part from the unit where it was found.
This morning, we investigated a suspicious item that resembled a possible explosive device. Our bomb squad responded and safely removed the object. For more information, click the link below.
