We’re just now learning that the Henrico Police were called to the Gayton Library at Pump & Gayton Roads early Saturday morning. NBC12 reports that a “homemade chemical explosive device” was found. Authorities didn’t take any chances, calling in hazmat crews to investigate the object.
The device was found to be relatively harmless after the crews investigated further and was simply a two-liter bottle with a caustic chemical inside. The building never had to be evacuated.
Henrico Police are still trying to determine the source of the mysterious object left at the library.
