KCSO investigating suspicious device found in Sprague River

Klamath County Sheriff’s Officers responded to a report of a suspicious device in Sprague River Friday afternoon reported by someone filling a propane tank behind a business, according to a KCSO press release.

Officers consulted with the Oregon State Police Arson & Explosives Section in Central Point and determined the device was a hoax. The department evacuated three nearby buildings as a precaution and removed the device for further investigation. Sprague River Fire also assisted the KCSO. The KCSO is still investigating the incident.
