Police issue warning over dangerous pipe bombs found near Lake Ginninderra

The pipe bombs have been found along paths and greenbelts in the Lake Ginninderra area, and it’s unknown whether there could be similar items in other parts of Canberra.

Det A/Insp Wronski confirmed some had already exploded before they were found.

“It appears that they most likely have been detonated in place, but it is currently subject to police investigation,” she said.

“A number of the devices have been located intact and a number have been located partially destroyed.”

Anyone who witnesses suspicious behaviour is urged to contact police on 131 444.

If you come across a suspicious item, do not touch it. Instead, walk a safe distance away and call police on Triple Zero (000).
