MADERA COUNTY, Calif. (KFSN) -- A search warrant was executed at a Madera County home Friday morning in connection with a bomb threat.

Crews were staging for the incident at the North Fork Mini Mart.

Madera County Sheriff's Deputies were notified by Tuolumne County officials Thursday night of a 13-year-old who came into their county with an explosive device.

They say the teen lives in Madera County, so sheriff's deputies went to a home on Cougar Springs Trail near Road 200 early Friday morning to make sure there were no other devices.

They served a search warrant and found a box they thought could be something of concern.

The bomb squad was called out to investigate and found out it was not a bomb, but rather a pile of junk.

The scene was cleared.
