The Sahuarita Town Council meeting on June 23, 2025, highlighted significant public safety concerns following a series of incidents involving homemade explosive devices in the community. The discussions centered around four separate events that raised alarms among residents and prompted swift action from local law enforcement.

On June 13, the first incident occurred at Lago Azul, where a suspicious device was reported. The Pima Regional Bomb Squad was called in and confirmed it was likely an explosive device that had failed to detonate. Later that same day, another report came in regarding a device described as a smoke bomb, which was treated as a fireworks case. However, the situation escalated with two additional reports of homemade explosive devices on June 20, prompting further intervention from the bomb squad.

The police emphasized the dangers associated with these devices, urging residents to report any suspicious items immediately by calling 911. They reassured the community that there was no evidence suggesting these devices were intended to target specific individuals or locations. Instead, they appeared to be the result of individuals experimenting with fireworks or explosives, which can pose serious risks.

In response to these incidents, the police department conducted neighborhood canvasses to gather information and identify any additional suspicious devices. They also sought assistance from residents with surveillance cameras to help track down the origins of the devices. The police reiterated the importance of community vigilance, encouraging residents to report any unusual activity or devices without hesitation.

The meeting concluded with a commitment from law enforcement to continue investigating these incidents thoroughly. A public service announcement is expected to be released soon, reinforcing the message that safety is a top priority and that the community should remain alert and proactive in reporting any concerns. The council's discussions underscored the collaborative efforts between local police, the bomb squad, and federal agencies to ensure the safety and security of Sahuarita residents.
