Bomb explodes; homeowner escapes injury

[Sports1]

A man escaped injury after removing a plastic bottle bomb from his mailbox, police say.

Sgt. Jeff Skuza said the man saw someone putting something in his mailbox late Monday night and went to see what it was. The bottle exploded after the homeowner grabbed it and threw it on the ground, Skuza said.

It is the third or fourth case of homemade bombs being placed in mailboxes in *****  in recent weeks, Skuza said. Police are trying to determine whether the incidents are connected.

"The mechanism inside usually varies a little bit. Usually people are able to go online, or there also are certain recipes that circulate through schools and other organizations for different chemicals that can be mixed inside a plastic bottle," Skuza said.

The chemicals create a gas that causes the bottle to explode, he said.

"It's basically like popping a giant balloon," Skuza said, "But it has a fairly explosive quality to it, and it can blow a mailbox apart, and that's where they most commonly put them, in mailboxes."

In South Dakota, authorities in Aberdeen are investigating reports of explosive devices found in two mailboxes. One was discovered by a mail carrier Saturday. No one was hurt in either incident.
