The Regina Police Service has charged a 31-year-old man after an improvised incendiary device was found outside a downtown building Saturday.
According to a media release, officers were flagged down at about 3:45 p.m., in the area of 11th Avenue and Rose Street by three boys who had found a suspicious package outside a business.
“Police were given a red bag containing four fluid-filled containers, with what appeared to be a wick tied to each,” the police release said.
A search was conducted at the business and in the area, but no other suspicious packages were found.
The police service’s Explosive Demolition Unit tested the fluid in the containers and determined it was combustible and explosive.
Surveillance video supplied by security personnel at the business showed a man carrying a bag that matched the one left outside the business.
According to police, the man left the bag when he saw a police car that was in the area on an unrelated matter.
Lyndon Adrian Chamberlin was identified and arrested. He was charged with making or possessing an explosive substance, unlawful possession of explosives, possession of a weapon for a purpose dangerous to the public peace, carrying a concealed weapon, and possession of an explosive substance contrary to a prohibition.
Chamberlin made his first court appearance on Tuesday.
