The FBI and Maui Police Department Issue Public Safety Warning Regarding Potential Explosive Devices.
Several improvised explosive devices (IEDs) have been recovered in the Kahului and Pukalani areas. The FBI and MPD are seeking tips.
Several devices have been recovered in the Kahului and Pukalani areas. The IEDs may look like small, makeshift baskets (see photo), but their appearances may vary.
While no injuries have been reported, the FBI and MPD are seeking the public’s help in reporting any suspicious activity that could present a threat to public safety, such as someone leaving an object unattended in a public space.
If you have information, or if you suspect you know someone who could be responsible for these devices, please report it immediately to tips.fbi.gov or 1-800-CALL-FBI (1-800-225- 5324).
We encourage the public to remain vigilant and to promptly report suspicious activities that could present a threat to public safety.
If you see something suspicious in the road, such as an object that appears out of place, do not touch, drive over, or go near it for any reason.
If possible, keep others away from the area and call 911 immediately.
