A polling place in Ankeny was evacuated for about three hours yesterday after a live pipe bomb was found in the parking lot.
According to a Des Moines Register photographer at the scene, a crew clad in bomb suits surrounded the device and safely detonated it. Voting resumed Tuesday afternoon at the precinct where ballots were being cast in a special election in the Ankeny School District.
Ankeny Police say no other pipe bombs were found in the area. They’re asking anyone with information about the case to call the Ankeny Police Department.
