HUNTINGTON BEACH – Three pipe bombs have exploded in the city in recent days and police warned residents today to alert officials and stay clear if any suspicious devices are spotted.

The bombs are constructed with galvanized-metal pipe and contain a black-powder explosive. They are designed to cause serious injury and property damage, police said. At least one of the bombs was hidden inside another object.

There were no reports of injury or serious property damage from the three explosions.

The bombings occurred at Holland Drive and Marken Lane about 9:50 p.m. Aug. 31, at Pacific Coast Highway and 12th Street about 12:30 a.m. Monday, and at Frankfort Avenue and Hill Street about 8:15 p.m. Monday.

Police are looking for a possible suspect, described as a male in his early 20s, 6 feet tall, wearing a dark-colored baseball cap, denim shorts, a white T-shirt and a white windbreaker.

Huntington Beach itself is almost all white with small hispanic and asian groups.

Ahh...romantic visions of riding down this highway in a Vette convertible with a golden tanned blonde in the passenger seat ...

Dollars to doughnuts the guy is just a typical young male (albeit a late bloomer) who has no intention of hurting anyone, but just likes to have fun by hearing things go BOOM.

The comment "They are designed to cause serious injury and property damage" is extremely stupid. If he wanted to hurt someone he already would have. The media are simply milking this all they can.
