We do not want members of the public to pick them up. We do not want members of the public to bring them to police stations. We want them to call triple-zero immediately, Wronski told reporters on Thursday."
"As of Thursday morning, 11 pipe bombs had been found along a 1km stretch of footpath near Lake Ginninderra in Canberra's north-west. The first was discovered by a member of the public. Some have been found intact over the past two days, while others appear to have gone off before being found. A number of the devices have been located intact, and a number have been located partially destroyed, Wronski said."
Nearly a dozen pipe bombs were discovered along a one-kilometre stretch of footpath near Lake Ginninderra in Canberra's north-west, with 11 devices found as of Thursday morning. Some devices were intact while others had partially detonated before discovery. The first device was found by a member of the public. Police emphasized that any explosive is dangerous, urged people not to touch or bring devices to stations, and instructed the public to call triple-zero immediately. Images show silver pipe sections with caps and apparent fuses. Police do not believe anyone was injured and are treating the matter extremely seriously while ruling out terrorism.
