I have just heard that Thames Valley Police have arrested a 62 year old manon suspicion of causing an explosion with intent to cause grievous bodilyharm. On Sunday afternoon, two boys we injured in an explosion in the Pill Box on London Street, opposite Sudbury House. I gather the boys are still inhospital having suffered second degree burns. The fact that a man has beenarrested seems to add weight to the theory that this was some sort of trap,rather than an act of misadventure as many had thought. A worrying twist tothe tale, but police are stepping up patrols as a matter of reassurance andare confident that this is an isolated incident. If you have any informationplease contact Abingdon CID on 0845 8 505 505.
