A bomb squad removed what appeared to be pipe bombs left in a Bremerton alley Wednesday afternoon.

Surveillance video obtained by KIRO 7 Eyewitness News reporter Kevin McCarty showed a Washington State Patrol bomb robot grabbing one of the devices and taking it away.

Richard Thomas of Northwest Computers found the device after watching a man place it in the alley in clear view of his security camera.

"(He) walked by real slow, and kind of walked by and turned around," Thomas said. "I'm kind of suspicious."

Surveillance video showed the man as he first walked by a trash bin, then returned and left what appeared to be a tackle box on a storage container.

Thomas said he went outside to have a look at the box, and realized it may be a bomb.

"One was a large steel calendar that had Chinese or Japanese writing on it, and the other one was blacked, and it had gray caps on both ends," Thomas said.

"When I did see the pipe bombs in the container, I got a little nervous then and took it outside," he said.

Thomas then called police, who called for the bomb squad.

Thomas said he's not sure why the man who left the device in the alley chose that spot.

When asked whether he thought it was someone just trying to get rid of it, Thomas said, "Yeah, probably."
