Pipe Bombs Detonated by Bomb Squad

Anyone who heard explosions Friday morning near Nordhoff Street and Eton Avenue heard LAPD's bomb squad at work.

The unit detonated three working pipe bombs found in a backpack by a man walking his dog around 3:30 a.m., said Sgt. Duane Aikins.

He said he doesn't know whether the backpack was found on the street or the gutter or where it came from.

Aikins said many officers were dispatched to the scene, which was cleared by 11:30 a.m.

An arrest has not been made at this point and the matter is under investigation.
