Multiple sticks of dynamite were found in a Calgary residence on Saturday.

The Calgary Police Service (CPS) responded to a call at 12:10 p.m. in the 1000 block of Woodview Crescent S.W. in the city's Woodbine neighbourhood, after a resident, while cleaning their home, found a metal box holding the dynamite.

CPS called for the surrounding homes to evacuate as a precaution until the box could be safely contained by its bomb unit. Woodview Crescent was also closed to traffic.

As of 3 p.m., residents in the area have not yet returned to their homes.

The dynamite was the second call police received on Saturday about a suspected explosive discovered in southwest Calgary.
