[ngg_images gallery_ids=”340″ display_type=”ds-nextgen_royalslider”]

An incendiary device found at a Dale City apartment complex forced the evacuation of 30 homes.

Police were called to Westway Lane at the Dale Forest Apartment complex in Dale City about 4 p.m. Fire and rescue personnel were also called, and all of it was to investigate a reported HAZMAT situation.

No injuries were reported as result of the incident. Police assured residents that there is no threat to the public.

The evacuation sent residents into the streets during the late afternoon hours. Some stood and watched police as they questioned a man at the back of a police car.

When Potomac Local arrived to the scene, the man was placed into the backseat of a police cruiser and officers ceased their line of questioning.

Prince William County Fire and Rescue Chief Kevin McGee was called to the scene. Investigators are still working on the case, police said.

A resident who declined to provide her name was shaken by the incident.

“It doesn’t matter where you go, you’re not safe,” she said.

The Dale Forest Apartment complex dates back more than 45 years. The apartments are marketed to those who want to live in the Dale City, Woodbridge, Quantico, and Fort Belvoir areas.
