WOODBRIDGE, Va. — A possible explosive device was brought to a police station in Woodbridge on Wednesday night prompting an emergency response.
Police have confirmed an investigation was prompted after last night’s incident at the Eastern District Police Station at 15948 Donald Curtis Drive in Woodbridge. Officer Jonathan Perok told Potomac Local News more details about the investigation will be released in a daily police report this afternoon.
The explosive device was reported just before midnight Wednesday, according to information obtained by Potomac Local News. That promoted police and fire crews to respond to the station.
The Eastern District Station is one of two police stations open to the public in Prince William County. The second is the Western District Station at 8900 Freedom Center Boulevard near Manassas.
This latest incident follows a case where a bomb was found inside a Manassas office building last month. The bomb was removed from the building and later detonated by Virginia State Police.
There have been no updates from Manassas police to members of the press concerning that investigation.
