Warrant issued for suspected Easter Sunday firebomber in coastal Georgia city

Police have issued an arrest warrant for a man accused of hiding a makeshift explosive device underneath a Georgia woman's car and dousing the vehicle in gasoline.

Brunswick police and a Georgia Bureau of Investigation bomb squad were called to a neighborhood Easter Sunday morning when a woman spotted a suspicious package underneath her car and noticed gasoline on the vehicle, The Brunswick News quoted police Chief Kevin Jones as saying.

The squad used a robot to retrieve the firebomb, which was made out of a fireworks device about 4 inches in diameter, Jones said. Police also found another large fireworks device, a bag of smaller fireworks and a bottle of accelerant beneath the car.

Police did not name the suspect but believe it was a man who recently stayed at the victim's house before being told to leave.
