Pulaski County Sheriff’s Office Conducts Search Warrant, Locates Explosive Material

A search warrant turned up more than what Pulaski County Sheriff’s Office deputies likely bargained for in a recent investigation.

Deputies began an investigation in reference to controlled substances at a residence in the 100 South block of Monticello Street in Winamac. A search warrant was obtained and during the execution of the search warrant Tuesday, March 12 around 9:30 a.m. ET four people were detained until the conclusion of the investigation.

While searching the residence, police say deputies located items consistent with explosive devices and explosive material. These items were ultimately examined by the South Bend Police Department Bomb Squad along with the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, and Firearms.

At this time this is an ongoing investigation, and it has been deemed there is no risk to the safety and well being of the public.

No other information has been provided at this time.

More information will be presented as it becomes available.
