ROHNERT PARK (CBS SF) -- Residents at a Rohnert Park apartment complex were briefly evacuated Saturday evening after officers located pipe bombs inside an apartment.

At 5:12 p.m., officers with the Rohnert Park Department of Public Safety responded to a report of a destructive device believed to be a pipe bomb located inside an apartment in the 7300 block of Boris Court, RPDPS spokesman Sgt. Eric Matzen said.

Upon arrival, officers learned a probation officer had made discovery.
