A $5,000 reward is now being offerd to help discover who planted a homemade bomb in Belmont earlier this week.
Federal investigators are joining state police, Belmont police and the Fire Marshal’s office in the probe of the explosive left on front steps to a housing complex.
“It was a viable device. It could have exploded, but it didn’t,” said Belmont police spokesman Lt. Rick Santangelo yesterday. The bomb, deactivated at the scene Monday night by the state police bomb squad, was taken away to be tested.
“It’s something somebody made. It’s not something they purchased, like a military explosive,” Santangelo said.
About 8:30 p.m. Monday, police received a report that a resident of Belmont Village, a public housing complex, found an object on her front steps. Police said yesterday the device was “an explosive device.”
