Police have released footage of a person as part of the investigation into an explosion at a home in Kingston on Thursday March 24.
In the incident, a man, aged 52, was peppered with nails after a home-made bomb went off.
The man was moving a bucket when the explosive detonated.
The incident happened around 5.30pm, when police were called to the Jacaranda Avenue address.
The man was left with concussion and significant chest, abdominal and limb injuries.
Paramedics transported the man to the Princess Alexandra Hospital in a serious condition.
A 48-year-old female resident was uninjured.
An emergency declaration was made under the Public Safety Preservation Act (PSPA) around 6.15pm, which was subsequently revoked.
Further investigations indicate that a person placed the improvised explosive device into the man’s front-yard by lifting it over the fence around 1:15am on Thursday March 24.
Detectives believe the explosion to be targeted and not a random offence.
Police are now appealing to anyone who may have witnesses something suspicious – or anyone who may have captured dash-camera footage – in the vicinity of Kingston Road, Juers Street and Jacaranda Avenue between midnight and 6am on Thursday March 24, to come forward.
Investigations continue.
