Explosion in Inglewood Apartment Complex Following Burglary Report

An explosion shook an apartment complex near Grevillea Avenue and Spruce Avenue in Inglewood, California on Sunday around noon. The blast occurred shortly after a burglary was reported in the area, prompting police to investigate the incident.

Witness Reports Masked Man Leaving Apartment Before Explosion

According to police, the person who called in the burglary said they saw a masked individual leaving one of the apartments moments before the explosion occurred. Authorities are actively searching for this suspect as part of their ongoing investigation.

Building Sustains Moderate Damage; No Injuries or Evacuations Reported

The explosion caused moderate damage to the apartment building, but fortunately, no injuries were reported and no residents had to be relocated. Police are working to determine the exact cause of the explosion.

Possible Connection to Previous Incident; Bomb Squad Assisting Investigation

Investigators believe this explosion might be linked to an earlier event last week, when a 911 caller reported a man aggressively pounding on a door at the same complex. Inglewood Police Detective Neal Cochran said the two incidents are likely related.

The sheriff’s department’s bomb squad has been called in to assist and assess whether other explosive devices or hazards were involved.

Police Call for Public Assistance; Incident Deemed Isolated
