Soda bomb charges, Redbank Plains
Ipswich District Detectives have charged a man with a number of offences following a protracted investigation into a series of incidents in Springfield and Redbank Plains over the past three months.
Operation Quebec Ramrod was launched in March in response to numerous complaints of homemade soda bombs being let off in the Redbank Plains area.
Detective Inspector David Briese said the soda bombs caused damage to property, and had the potential to cause serious injury to members of the public.
“There have been a number of incidents involving homemade soda bottle bombs in Burrawang Street, Berrigan Street, and Nardoo Court.”
“It is through sheer luck that no one was hurt in these incidents, as the items contain highly corrosive liquid,” Inspector Briese said.
Police executed a search warrant at a Springfield Lakes address this morning, where a 35-year-old man was arrested and taken into custody.
