Anchorage police say officers investigating a drug case found an "explosive device" at a home.
The department's vice unit Thursday afternoon was carrying out a search warrant at a home on the 7300 block of Fourth Avenue when officers found the device.
The home was a unit in a ranch-style four-plex structure. Attached homes were evacuated.
The device appeared to be home-made.
Explosives experts removed the device and planned to dispose of it at Joint Base Elmendorf-Richardson.
Police continue to investigate and say charges could be filed.
