Greater Sudbury Police have laid several charges after four explosive devices were allegedly found on a Tedman Avenue property on Friday.

A 34-year-old Sudbury man was taken into custody Friday morning and charged with possession of a prohibited device, possession of a weapon for a dangerous purpose (two counts), explosives – making or possession for an unlawful purpose, knowledge and unauthorized possession of a weapon/device, using explosives, possession of incendiary material, and driving while under suspension (two counts).

His name has not been released. The address provided by police, 539 Tedman Ave., is listed online as that of AYR Roofing and Construction, owned by Frank Katarincic.

Officers arrived at the property on Friday around 2 a.m., according to a release, and executed a Criminal Code search warrant. Tactical unit explosives disposal specialists allegedly found four homemade explosive devices in one unit of the building, as well as in a detached shed. The specialist wore a bomb suit and operated a robot while locating the devices, according to police.

OPP responded, as well, and used a dog trained to find explosives to sweep the residence and outbuildings on the property, but did not find any additional devices, according to Sudbury police.

Nearby streets were blocked and residents evacuated during the investigation, but have since been allowed to return home. Police said there is no further danger to the public.
