2 Arrested In Suisun City Home Explosion: Police

SUISUN CITY, CA — Police in Suisun City say two people have been arrested in connection with an explosion over the weekend at a Suisun City home. Thomas Capenhurst, 33, of Dixon, and Robert McGraw, 20, of Fairfield were taken into custody Monday on suspicion of using a destructive device with the intent to commit murder, police say.

The Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives assisted police with an investigation into the explosion that damaged a Suisun City home early Saturday morning. At about 1 a.m., officers responded to a report of an explosion at a home on Bluejay Drive, according to Suisun City police.

There, a resident flagged down responding officers and told them that a device exploded in front of their home. The explosion caused major damage to the home's front door area, police said.

Although multiple people were inside the home at the time, no injuries were reported.

Information soon arose in the investigation, leading to search warrants being served Monday at homes in Fairfield and Dixon, and at a business in Benicia, Suisun City police said. Additional pipe bombs were allegedly located during the search in Fairfield and were safely recovered by ATF Bomb Squad personnel, according to police.

Following the service of the search warrants, authorities arrested Capenhurst and McGraw, both of whom were booked into Solano County jail on suspicion of multiple felonies, including the use of a destructive device with the intent to commit murder, according to police.
