>After finding three bottle bombs Tuesday on Newcastle’s Carter Avenue and receiving the advice of the Campbell County Bomb Squad, the local police department decided to detonate the explosives by shooting them with special rifle projectiles, the Newcastle police chief says.
The Newcastle Police Department responded Tuesday at 8:15 a.m. to Carter Avenuewhen a caller reported three bottles sitting equally spaced next to the sidewalk on the road’s west side, says a statement Newcastle Police Chief Derek Thompson released six hours later.
Police found three, 2-liter bottles on the grass between the sidewalk and the curb containing what the responding officer suspected to be drain or toilet-bowl cleaner, and aluminum foil.
“The bottles and their contents appeared consistent with what is commonly referred to as a ‘bottle bomb,’ ‘Draino bomb’ or ‘works bomb,’” says the statement.
A Campbell County Sheriff’s Office Bomb Squad operative consulted with the police department, and the authorities learned the safest way to neutralize the bombs would be to puncture them from a distance and detonate them.
