"Lawrence authorities find bottle bombs, question teens" by Todd Feathers | Globe Correspondent, April 06, 2013
Bottle bombs found in Lawrence containing potentially dangerous household chemicals have prompted an investigation of some teenagers by city police and fire officials....
Investigators are concerned that the teenagers making the explosives will burn themselves by coming in contact with the chemicals, Fire Chief Jack Bergeron said. One boy who is believed to have made some of the devices has already reported slight burns to authorities.
No arrests have been made and Bergeron said authorities are working with juvenile courts to determine whether any charges will be filed.
Several of the explosives discovered in late March prompted the investigation, but Bergeron said authorities believe youths may have been making them for some time.
“We’re wondering if maybe kids picked it up on Facebook or Twitter and it took off like wildfire,” he said.
