Explosive devices in Mililani, UH investigated

Advertiser Staff

Police have made no arrests in a first-degree reckless endangering investigation into an explosive device detonated Friday at Mililani Town Center that damaged two vehicles but caused no injuries.

The device was a plastic bottle containing a chemical solution mixed with water that was placed under the tire of a vehicle, police said. The explosion was reported at 7:42 p.m.

On March 11, several plastic bottles containing an explosive chemical mixture exploded at the University of Hawai'i-Manoa's Johnson Hall "A" dormitory at about 11:58 p.m.

Five of seven chemical-reaction devices left on the lawn and in the stairway exploded, police said.

A man who picked up one of the bottles was treated when liquid splashed into his eyes. No arrests have been made in that reckless-endangering investigation.
