Discovery of possible bomb leads to arrests, evacuation of area (Puyallup, WA)

Three men were arrested in Puyallup on Monday after police found three guns and a suspicious device, possibly a bomb, in the car they were riding in, a police spokeswoman said.
Officers, acting on a tip that the men were armed, pulled over a late 1990s Chevrolet Caprice at 31st Avenue S.E. and South Meridian at 5:50 p.m., said Lorri Ericson, Puyallup police spokeswoman. They found the weapons and the device after they searched the men and the vehicle, she said.

Officers called the Pierce County Bomb Squad and evacuated a nearby convenience store and a day-care center. They also closed a section of South Meridian from the 3000 block to the 3200 block, Ericson said. The area was still closed as of 9:45 p.m., and bomb squad officials were trying to determine exactly what the device was, she said.

Ericson said she did not know where the men would be held.

The Caprice must be a vehicle of choice for jihad wannabees. That's what the beltway snipers (as opposed to the Beltway Boys) were driving when they had their 15 minutes in 2002, while everyone thought they had a white van.
