Dozens of pipe bombs discovered in suburban NY apartment after neighbors heard loud booms for weeks

Police discovered more than two dozen pipe bombs inside a White Plains apartment while investigating an explosive found on a quiet, tree-lined block Monday morning β€” providing a terrifying answer to the mysterious series of thunderous booms neighbors had been hearing for weeks.

Cops arrested Raymond Elders, 65, on several charges, including use of a weapon of mass destruction, after authorities found 25 complete pipe bombs and explosive-making materials at his Odell Avenue apartment, CBS New York reported.

Elders was cuffed following an investigation that was sparked when a police officer spotted a mysterious explosive device near his doorway.

Cops had been responding to reports of a possible transformer explosion after a powerful boom β€” which residents have heard multiple times in recent weeks β€” shook the neighborhood around 4:30 a.m.

The device was rendered safe after a shelter-in-place was ordered for surburban neighborhood.

People of today are such drama queens.

That face!
Those tattoos!

The ‘Book’s’ cover describes somebody who spent a lot of time in jail. Hard time! The real story may be nothing like that.

The alleged explosive fiend had black and blue residue on his hands

The photo doesn't show his hands, only the one arm, but this would be a logical conclusion.

“It’s Such a Good Feeling” is the iconic goodbye song from Mister Rogers’ Neighborhood, closing most episodes from 1976 to 2001. Written by Fred Rogers, the song emphasizes positive emotions about being alive, personal growth, and the anticipation of returning to play again. He just wanted to play because it was a good feeling.

It also says they put the cuffs on him, so, he must have had both arms. I suppose they may just have not wanted the parts to get separated, and to get the complete set of prints.

I was thinking that the “black and blue residue on his hands” could be code for tattoos, based on the looks of that arm.

But you make an important point about keeping all the parts together. Otherwise the scene could have gotten out of hand and blown up rather quickly.

If a picture’s worth 1000 words, who would want to mess with a guy who’s got a double barrel sticking straight up out of his head?

Authorities believe the hoard of explosives may be tied to a neighbor dispute

Must be a nice neighborhood, if that's how they settle disputes

The height of recklessness”
In a courtroom at the White Plains Federal Building on Tuesday, a prosecutor said it was “a miracle” Elders didn’t injure or kill someone, adding, “His behavior was dangerous, flagrant and reckless.”

Like a fuse it’s only a matter of time before it goes off.
