Two concealed devices made with fireworks were found at the Seminole Hard Rock Tampa in Florida, forcing the Seminole police and the FBI to investigate and the casino to evacuate twice as a bomb squad handled the devices.
A “crude concealed device with fireworks components” was discovered at the casino shortly before midnight Sunday night and quickly deactivated with support from the Hillsborough County Sheriff’s Office Bomb Disposal Team, the Seminole Police Department told Fox News Digital in a statement.
The device was discovered in a men’s room adjacent to the casino, and part of the building was immediately evacuated.
The casino reopened about 3 a.m. Monday after the device was deactivated and removed.
A second hidden device, related to the first, was discovered in a men’s room shortly after noon on Monday in the mezzanine area of the casino, which was evacuated.
