Police say 11 explosive devices have been found along a 1km stretch of footpaths in north-west Canberra over the last few days.

Some were already detonated prior to being found, and some have been detonated by police, but no one has been injured.

Members of the public are being urged to call Triple Zero (000) if they find an item resembling the devices, and to avoid touching it.

"We do not want members of the public to pick them up, we do not want them to bring them to police stations."

Words. I have no words.

It'd certainly get a reaction if you walked into a police station holding something like this...
