'Suspicious Devices' Found Near Terre Haute School

Terre Haute police say two 'suspicious devices' found in Collett Park Tuesday afternoon are unsophisticated explosives.

ISP's Explosive Ordinance Disposal Team was called to the scene around 9 a.m., after the Terre Haute Police Department says a park worker discovered a device while cleaning the park. A Terre Haute police officer came across a second device while searching the park.

Nearby Ouabache Elementary School was placed on lock down as a precaution.

Members of the ISP team dismantled the devices and turned them over to the Terre Haute Police Department for a criminal investigation.

Police used K-9 units to search the area for additional threats, but found none. They haven't made any arrests in the case.
