Do you know who set off a bomb in Irmo last year? Federal agents offer $5,000 reward.
The federal Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives asked for the public’s help Friday in finding who set off a bomb in Irmo last year.
The ATF offered a $5,000 reward for “for information leading to the location, arrest, and conviction of the person(s) responsible for building and detonating an explosive device in an Irmo neighborhood.”
The incident happened on Aug. 2, 2021. People called police to report an explosion at the intersection of Cressfell and Chapelwhite roads, which is in the middle of a residential neighborhood.
Irmo Police Department and the fire department responded to the explosion. Richland County deputies, state agents and Federal Bureau of Investigation agents also showed up to the scene.
Investigators found multiple explosive devices in the immediate area, the ATF said.
The ATF hasn’t identified the bomber, but a light colored vehicle was seen nearby at the time of the explosion. The ATF is asking for information on the vehicle.
“Anyone with information about this case should contact ATF at 1-888-ATF-TIPS (888-283-8477). Information can also be sent to ATFTips@atf.gov, or through ATF’s website at www.atf.gov/contact/atf-tips. Tips may also be submitted to Crimestoppers at 1-888-CRIMESC. All tips will remain anonymous,” the ATF said.
The ATF field office that investigates in South Carolina is based in Charlotte.
