BURBANK, Calif. (KABC) -- Authorities say they uncovered an unspecified amount of explosives inside a residential garage in Burbank Thursday.

Burbank police responded to a home in the 1800 block of Maple Street, which prompted the street closure of Maple between Victory Boulevard and Jeffries Avenue.

A bomb squad with the Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department also arrived to the scene to assist Burbank police in recovering the explosives.

It's unclear what kind of explosive was found or the how much authorities seized.

Burbank police announced just after 5 p.m. that the investigation was finished and the area has reopened. Further details were not immediately available.
