The Quincy Police Department is investigating two recent Improvised Explosive Devices.  There were no injuries associated with either incident.  One of the IEDs was detonated prior to the incident in Boston yesterday.  While both IEDs were small, they were capable of causing serious harm to anyone near to them at the time of their detonation.

The second IED was found in the 2000 block of Hampshire.  It was detonated just prior to 8:30 pm on Monday, April 15th.  This IED was what is commonly called a “soda bottle bomb” and did not appear to have any method for discharging shrapnel.
