Vancouver police say they safely detonated a suspected improvised explosive device found in a vehicle in the Downtown East Side.
Police say officers found the device during a search of the vehicle after they spotted fentanyl in plain view during a traffic stop last night.
Sergeant Aaron Roed says officers secured the area to protect the public and then used a specialized robot and other tools to properly disable and dispose of the device.
A 25 year old Surrey resident was arrested for unauthorized possession of an explosive device but has been released with no charges at this time.
