Belleville police say an investigation is continuing into a suspicious incident after responding to what initially appeared to be a “small explosion.”
On Monday, Nov. 25, 2024, at about 8:15 a.m., police said they were called to the Riverside Trail and McNabb Tower area after “evidence of what looked to be a small explosion was discovered.”
Upon arrival, PVC piping and parts of fireworks were found, reported police.
