The Gardaí at Arklow Garda Station are appealing for information in relation to an improvised explosive device which was placed in a domestic waste bin outside a residence.
On Monday the 13th of May, at 10:30pm a homemade improvised explosive device, planted in a wheelie bin outside a home in Inbhear Mor Park, Arklow, detonated. Fortunately neither the occupants of the house nor the teenagers around the area at the time, were injured.
At Gardaí believe the residents of the house were not the intended targets of this crime, and that this was a case of mistaken identity.
