PEBBLE BEACH, Calif. -- Bomb experts from Santa Cruz defused an explosive device found Wednesday in a Pebble Beach refuse pit. Authorities are still trying to figure out how it got there.
Monterey deputies, along with officials with Pebble Beach Security and the California Department of Forestry, responded to the scene at Stevenson Drive and Spyglass Hill Road after two Pebble Beach Community Service District maintenance workers reported the incident.
Authorities say the workers were scrounging for surplus iron piping in the refuse area at about 1:30 p.m. when they came across what was described as an "improvised destructive device" in a discarded length of concrete sewer piping.
The Santa Cruz Bomb Squad was called to the scene and they were able to quickly disassemble the device.
Monterey County sheriff's investigators took the disassembled bomb into evidence and are continuing to investigate its source. Officials have no suspects and the investigation continues.
AROTFLOL!!!!
Very. Both to the intended victim and the vicious moron who puts it together.
Idiots have been killed by the pipe bombs they were trying to assemble.
