Sheriff’s deputies found explosive materials inside an RV in East County Saturday while responding to a possible drug overdose, officials said.
Deputies responded to a call shortly after 11 a.m. at a property on Lakeside Avenue in the Eucalyptus Hills area of Lakeside. At the site they found a man who was unresponsive in an RV, authorities said in a press release Sunday.
Paramedics took the man to a hospital.
Around the same time, deputies spotted “several items” in the vehicle that “were indicative of possible explosives,” officials said. Several other agencies were called in to help, including the sheriff’s bomb and arson unit, hazmat teams from the county and the city of San Diego as well as the U.S. Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives.
That group aided with the “disposal of some of the explosive materials,” although exactly what was found was not immediately clear. The condition of the man was not disclosed.
No other information was immediately released.
