Possible pipe bomb in West Hills neighborhood

The device that prompted an evacuation order in a West Hills neighborhood Thursday morning may be a pipe bomb, police said.

The evacuation of 20 homes in the area of the 6600 block of Royer Avenue remained in effect and bomb squad personnel were inside the home where "possible pipe bombs" were found, said Sgt. Bruce Alvarez at the LAPD's Topanga station.

No one was home when the officers entered the residence, and it was unclear who called to report the possible explosives, he said.
