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.
Authorities said the man may have escaped to Florida. Police said the suspect could face an attempted arson charge.
