Employees at the Four Corners Power Plant in Fruitland were evacuated Monday after three suspicious devices were discovered in one of the power plant’s generating units.

Arizona Public Service Co. spokeswoman Jenna Shaver said Monday the devices, which are approximately six inches in length and capped at both ends, were discovered inside unit 4 of the power plant before 9 a.m. APS is the plant’s majority owner.

FBI spokesman Frank Fisher confirmed Monday evening that three suspicious devices were investigated at the plant, but declined to say whether they contained explosive material . . .

Shaver said Monday evening the suspicious devices had been removed from the plant and normal operations will continue today, with appropriate security measures in place . . .

Farmington police spokeswoman Georgette Allen said the Farmington Police Department’s bomb squad responded to the plant after receiving reports of a suspicious package, but the FBI was the lead agency in the investigation. (Read more from “Suspicious Devices Found at Arizona Power Plant” HERE)
