A meth lab was found in Gordon County, authorities said.

A man and woman were arrested after a makeshift methamphetamine lab was found at an apartment in northwest Georgia, authorities said.

The meth lab was at the Calhoun Crossing apartment complex on Calhoun Avenue, causing homes in the area to be evacuated, the Calhoun Times reported.

An Atlanta-based Drug Enforcement Administration unit responded to the apartment with a hazmat unit to clean up the lab, Calhoun police Chief Tony Pyle told the newspaper. It finished the cleanup about 8 p.m. Monday and residents were able to return to their homes.

The suspects and the charges they face was not reported. No other details were released.
