Cheshire Teen Charged with Manufacturing Bombs

CHESHIRE, CT — Cheshire Police have arrested one male juvenile and have a warrant for the arrest of a co-conspirator after the pair was “researching and producing explosive devices” in a wooded area in Cheshire.

The juvenile surrendered himself to police custody on Sept. 26 on an outstanding arrest warrant, according to Lt. Jeffrey Sutherland.

Sutherland said the arrest stems from an investigation conducted by the Cheshire Police Department with assistance from the Connecticut State Police Bomb Squad and the FBI’s New Haven Field Office in January.

The investigation revealed that the juvenile arrestee and a co-conspirator were actively engaged in researching and producing explosive devices in a wooded area between Highland Avenue (Route 10) and Academy Road (Route 68/70), according to Sutherland.

The juvenile was processed and transported to Waterbury Juvenile Court where he was remanded into custody.

He was charged with manufacturing a bomb, conspiracy to manufacture a bomb and reckless endangerment.

Sutherland said a warrant for the second suspect is still pending.
