U.S. Attorney Tara McGrath stated, 'Fortunately, neither of these incidents resulted in injury or successful theft of cash. With the discovery of chemicals and equipment in the search today, future attempts were also thwarted.' This underscores the seriousness of Nguyen's failed attempts and the preventive actions taken by law enforcement.
Authorities allege Son Nguyen made two failed attempts to blow open ATM machines in June, with his first incident using a makeshift bomb that caused an explosion but yielded no cash.
Nguyen was identified as the lead suspect after surveillance footage and vehicle registration linked him to the scene of the attempted thefts, leading to his arrest and federal charges.
Using homemade bombs in this criminal endeavor not only endangered Nguyen but potentially the public, showing the dangers of improvised explosive devices even in failed criminal attempts.
