By John M. Guilfoil, Globe Correspondent

MARLBOROUGH -- Authorities in Marlborough spent Friday dealing with an apparent bomb scare at a home on Hemenway Street Extension.

A homeowner doing work on his home found what appeared to be a pipe bomb and called police, who then found additional smaller devices resembling pipe bombs near the first item.

Marlborough police, the state police bomb squad, and a federal Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms agent are investigating the items and trying to determine how they got there. There was no word today on whether the items were actual bombs.
