Following a domestic violence incident yesterday, authorities discovered a stash of explosive devices in the business of the arrested suspect in Fremont, leading to evacuations in the surrounding area and swift action from local police and bomb squads as reported by NBC Bay Area.
The suspect, whose identity has not been released, was initially arrested at the north end of town, after Fremont Police officers responded to a report of domestic violence according to an advisory published by Fremont Police Department. The investigation into the incident led to the decision of seizing the suspect's registered firearms, which were said to be stored in numerous safes at his business located in Industrial Pl.
Upon executing search warrants at the business, officers discovered not only firearms, but also several explosive devices inside the safes. In response to this dangerous find, officers immediately evacuated the area, taking necessary precautions to ensure the public's safety.
With the situation escalating, the Alameda County Sheriff’s Office (ACSO) Bomb Squad was called to the scene, and as of last reports, they were in the process of destroying the explosive devices. The Fremont Fire Department also provided assistance in the ongoing operation.
While the discovery of the explosive devices initially stirred fear and unease, the police have confirmed that there is no current threat or danger to the community, and fortunately, no injuries have been reported.
As the investigation unfolds, further details about the suspect and the nature of the explosive devices are expected to emerge; however, at this stage, no additional information has been disclosed.
