Mailboxes destroyed by bombs made from household cleaners
LEXINGTON, Mass. -- Police and the U.S. Postal Inspection Service are investigating four bombs that exploded in mailboxes in Lexington neighborhoods.
Police said local teenagers made the bombs with household cleaners and antifreeze.
Not only are authorities concerned about the explosions causing injuries to residents, but it's also a federal offense to destroy a mailbox.
According to police, three teenagers have confessed to their involvement with the explosions, but would not release their names because no arrests were made.
The pranks could bring felony charges to those responsible.
