Neighbours were furious.

“Why did they get bail?” said one. “That’s crazy.”

Another asked “how they can be charged with explosives but allowed to come back here?”

They had been in custody since Monday when York Regional Police charged them with being in possession of an explosive substance. They were charged after officers executed a search warrant at a home on Larratt Lane in the Bayview Ave.-Elgin Mills Rd. E. area.

None of the allegations against the men have been tested in court.

The arrests came after the U.S. Customs and Border Protection Agency detained the son at a vehicle border point May 9.

Neighbours describe the Iranian-born mother and father as friendly and the son as a loner.

Public Safety Minister Ralph Goodale has said the case did not present a “national security” issue and was a matter for local police.
