THE North Island Naval Station main gate was shut down due to a reported bomb threat after a driver was found with explosive material.
Officials at the San Diego airbase said the driver approached the gate at around 9am on Tuesday and was stopped and searched by officials.
The request to stop the vehicle was made by Naval Criminal Investigative Service officials, Naval Base Coronado spokesman Kevin Dixon said.
Officials said the driver was found with bomb-making materials, but the materials were not assembled into any kind of device.
The unidentified driver has been taken in for questioning.
It is not clear why they were stopped by authorities or whether it was a routine check at the gate.
The Naval Base quickly stopped traffic and shut down the inbound gate on Third Street and outbound gate at McCain Boulevard.
Officials advised people to stay away from the main gate and Building 335.
The Commissary, Exchange, and Visitor Center were also closed due to the incident.
