Authorities in three New Mexico cities are investigating suspicious devices found Monday.
In Deming, New Mexico, located about 35 miles from the southern border, police confirmed they found an explosive device and are asking people to avoid traveling in the area out of fear of a second one. The explosive device was found near Luna County Magistrate Court, according to the Deming Police Department.
Another item was found at an adult probation center in Las Cruces and a third at the U.S. Attorney’s Office in Albuquerque. Authorities have not confirmed whether those contained explosive devices like the one in Deming.
The one in Albuquerque, which was seen by X-ray at a loading dock, contained a pipe-shaped item inside with wires, according to sources.
The New Mexico State Police and local law enforcement are investigating.
