THE bomb response unit was called to an address in Cambridge Street, Berwick, after the Casey CIU found a suspicious device during a drugs warrant in the early hours of Thursday 23 July.
Senior Constable Samantha Russel said the device was declared explosive material, but wasn’t a bomb.
“The public shouldn’t fear for their safety, it appears to be an isolated incident,” she said.
Some other explosive material was found at the address, and a 43-year-old Berwick woman was arrested and released on bail and due to appear at the Dandenong Magistrates’ Court in August.
A 44-year-old Doveton man was charged with explosive and drug offences and remains in custody.
Ms Russel said she found more ice on the man than inside the home.
