On March 9th at around 1:12 a.m. patrol officers responded to a report of an explosion in the 100 block of West Olympic Place. Upon arrival, officers discovered what appeared to be debris from a homemade explosive device that had been detonated. No one suffered injury as a result of the explosion and there did not appear to be any property damage.
Arson Bomb Squad detectives were summoned to the scene to investigate. The remnants of the explosive device were collected and submitted into evidence. A latent print examiner will process the evidence for fingerprints. This remains an active Arson Bomb Squad investigation.
