LAKE WALES, Fla. — Police are searching for a man seen running from a mall in central Florida where two explosive devices detonated Sunday evening.

The Lake Wales (Fla.) Fire Department responded to a call about a fire at Eagle Ridge Mall around 5:30 p.m. Sunday, which alerted them to explosive devices. Lake Wales is about 53 miles east of Tampa.

Two devices, originally described by authorities as pipe bomb-type devices, detonated in a service corridor near J.C. Penney, causing roof damage. Lake Wales Deputy Chief Troy Schulze later clarified the devices that exploded were some type of flare in a PVC pipe wrapped in a electrical tape.

The mall was evacuated, and no injuries were reported. Schulze estimated about 100 people were inside the mall when the explosion happened.
