Police in Ledyard are investigating a spree of vandalism in which someone has been mixing household items in a plastic bottle, which bursts from the chemical reaction.
Fortunately, there have been no injuries, but police urge anyone who sees one of these devices to call police and not to handle the devices.
The potentially explosive devices are unpredictable and can result in property damage, serious injury or death, according to police.
“These senseless and hazardous acts of vandalism are considered a serious matter and criminal charges will be pursued against those responsible,” police said in a statement.
