Huge bomb-making operation busted
Albert Lea, Minnesota
Authorities in Albert Lea say they have uncovered a major bomb making operation, after two explosions in the area during a five-day period.
Police executed a search warrant at a home in Frost, MN Tuesday night, where they found so many explosives they had to call the Bloomington bomb squad.
Neighbors were evacuated, but one says she just thought the suspects were playing with fireworks.
”They were getting increasingly loud and smoky, but nothing that would be tremble the earth,” says neighbor Corrine Johnson.
Police arrested four members of the Yahnke family for the operation – Marvin Yahnke, 49, Shirly Yahnke, 38, Daniel Yahnke, 19, and a 15-year-old juvenile.
Authorities seized more than 20 pounds of highly explosive material, as well as more than 100 explosive devices.
“In my 20 years in law enforcement, I have never seen an operation this large,” said Chief Dwaine Winkels of the Albert Lea Police Department.
