Police say recent explosions in Gosford were deliberate and aimed at causing harm, using LPG cylinders as weapons.
Yesterday in Gosford, two explosions rocked the quiet town in what police are describing as targeted attacks. According to NSW Police, the culprit behind the explosions used LPG gas cylinders as the explosive devices.

The first explosion occurred at 2:15pm in a legal aid office on Donnison Street. Witnesses reported seeing a man with a backpack enter the building before igniting what was described as an "improvised explosive device". Luckily, the fire caused minimal damage and there were no injuries reported.

Superintendent Darryl Jobson of NSW Police explained that the man then went on to target a second building on the same street. This time, he had a canvas bag on wheels with him and ignited another LPG cylinder. Jobson stated that it appeared the man had obtained the bag from an unknown location.

The second explosion caused more damage and a 54-year-old employee was treated for smoke inhalation. However, Jobson emphasized that it could have been much worse and that the incident could have had an "entirely different outcome". He condemned the violent behavior and assured the public that it will not be tolerated.

Upon further investigation, police have determined that both attacks were planned and not random acts. They are currently trying to determine the motive behind the attacks and have released a picture from CCTV footage in hopes of identifying the suspect. Jobson stated that they are eager to find out the reason behind the attacks and urged anyone with information to come forward and contact Crime Stoppers.

The incidents have caused shock and concern in the community, as Gosford is not known for this type of violence. The police will continue their investigation and work towards bringing justice to the victims and their families.
