Police said destructive devices were found while investigating a homicide in Washington County.

Two people were injured and another was found dead after police responded to a home invasion on Tenan Lane in Cherryfield last Thursday.

The man who died was identified 36-year-old Matthew Adams of Whitneyville.

Police were searching a home in Addison on Saturday morning as part of their investigation. A bomb team was called in after the destructive devices were found there.

That case is still under investigation. Police say there’s no risk to the public.
