BUCKS COUNTY, Pa. — Two teenagers from Bucks County are facing serious criminal charges after authorities say they threw a bomb-like explosive device while in New York, prompting a major police response and an ongoing investigation.
According to law enforcement officials, the incident occurred in New York when the teens allegedly threw what authorities described as a homemade explosive or bomb-like device in a public area. The device detonated, creating a loud explosion that led to an immediate response from police, fire crews, and bomb squad investigators.
Officials say the explosion caused alarm among nearby residents and businesses, though no injuries were reported. Authorities quickly secured the area as investigators worked to determine the exact type of device that was used.
Police later identified the suspects as two teenage males from Bucks County, Pennsylvania. Investigators say the teens were taken into custody following the incident and are now facing multiple charges related to possession and use of an explosive device.
Bomb technicians and investigators examined the scene and collected evidence related to the device. Officials have not released detailed information about how the device was constructed, but sources say it was capable of producing a significant explosion.
Authorities are also reviewing surveillance footage and interviewing witnesses as part of the investigation.
Because the suspects are juveniles, officials have released limited information about their identities. The case is expected to move through the juvenile court system.
Law enforcement officials emphasized that incidents involving explosive devices are taken extremely seriously due to the potential risk to the public.
The investigation remains ongoing.
