An explosive device found in a Tiverton home was safely detonated on Wednesday.
Police were called to a home on Riverside Drive at around 10 a.m. after receiving a report about a device that was found in a garage.
Officers were able to locate a solid projectile at the scene and homes in the area were evacuated.
The Rhode Island State Fire Marshal's Explosives Operations Division and U.S. Navy Explosive Ordnance Disposal Unit were called to the home and an x-ray determined the device was an armor-piercing shell. Police say the device was taken off-site and detonated.
There were no injuries, and the incident is under investigation.
