Update: Saskatoon RCMP have determined the devices in the mailbox are modified fireworks.
RCMP stated that additional damaged mailboxes have now been located. All involved mailboxes are east of Saskatoon in the RM of Blucher, and RM of Corman Park.
The fireworks will not detonate, and are not a threat, unless they are lit.
On Sunday, Saskatoon RCMP received a report that several mailboxes near Sunset Estates in the RM of Blucher were broken into, and suspicious objects were left in them.
