A man in California who was arrested for blowing up transformers had large amounts of explosive materials and a meth lab in his home.

Peter Karasev, 36, is facing multiple charges for exploding a destructive device, destroying an electrical line, and arson.

The incidents occurred in January and December 2022 at two separate locations, San Jose police said.

The explosions damaged the PG&E transformers, leaving thousands without power.

According to the criminal complaint, the suspect was captured on surveillance footage riding a bicycle to a small strip mall early on Jan. 5 and igniting a backpack near the bottom of a PG&E transformer box before immediately fleeing the scene.

“[It] is believed that this suspect intentionally caused this destruction and harm to public safety,” the criminal complaint stated.
