Orange County Sheriff’s Department bomb squad personnel detonated an explosive device Sunday that was found on the front lawn of a Costa Mesa home, police said.

Authorities received a call around 6 p.m. from a homeowner in the 900 block of Darrell Street, said Costa Mesa police Sgt. Matt Selinske.

The resident reported a fireworks-like device on his property that had a fuse protruding from it, police said.
