Claresholm, Alberta – On March 6, 2023, at 8:18 a.m., Claresholm RCMP were dispatched to a complaint of a garbage receptacle that had been blown up in Amundsen Park around 2:10 a.m. RCMP canvassed the scene and did neighbourhood inquiries, resulting in a video obtained from a resident’s doorbell camera showing a taller male and a shorter person walking up to the receptacle and placing a pipe bomb inside. They lit the fuse and watched the explosive destroy the garbage receptacle. The two suspects fled on foot in a north east direction.
RCMP were then directed to a garbage bin at the Town of Claresholm compost site. Town employees advised that the garbage bin had been damaged by a pipe bomb explosion on March 4, 2023, around 6:30 a.m.
