Bomb Squad Called To Lower Pottsgrove Twp.
Potential explosives were found during the clean up of a residence.

Update 7:15 p.m. Aug. 11, 2011: "Yes I was evacuated earlier but I wasn't too concerned," said Village Condo resident Stephanie Bongo. "I was with my kids at the time and our neighbors weren't panicking so neither were we. Overall, it seemed like it wasn't a big deal."
Bongo said she didn't know much about the late owner of the house.
"The only thing I know about him is that he used to work in corrections as a prison guard," she said. "In all, honestly, I feel like people were just bored from this whole experience."
