An entire neighborhood was roped off with crime tape and at least 10 homes were evacuated after Maricopa County sheriff's deputies found a house booby-trapped with explosives Tuesday afternoon.

Police said a tip came in on Saturday that authorities would find explosives at the home near Broadway and Ellsworth in Mesa.

Authorities said when they arrived on scene, they found a number of improvised-explosive devices.

At least one briefcase was found containing a pipe bomb and TATP, a white crystalline powder that is highly explosive.

"We have a couple fo different devices hooked up to the briefcase that we believe could set this off," said Sheriff's Deputy Doug Matteson. "There are different wires connected to the briefcase."

Deputies said they were able to discern what was inside the briefcase through X-rays and the help of bomb technicians.
