“Hunt for bomb blast culprits”

ALEX JOHNSON
May 29, 2007

ARTICLE SNIPPET: “A HOME-MADE bomb tore the roof off a Camperdown telephone box on Friday night in an act of vandalism police said could have been deadly.

Senior Constable George Hasiotis, of Camperdown police, said an eight-gram CO2 soda bulb was used with gunpowder and aluminium foil to set off the explosion opposite the Camperdown Caravan Park on Park Road between 9pm and 10pm.

``What they’ve used is something similar to a CO2 (canister that is filled with a) non-flammable gas and are used by plumbers or to make Soda Stream (beverages),’’ Senior Constable Hasiotis said. ``If that had detonated later...someone could have been seriously injured or killed. It’s the sort of thing where I will not stop until I find the offenders.

``We’re making inquiries and physical evidence was located at the scene.’’ He said the attack was probably not related to similar explosions in letterboxes in the Cobden area.”
