A man was arrested and charged with leaving a fake "cell phone bomb" in the backyard of a woman based in Queensland. The man was 40 years old.
The police recorded the event on Saturday, when the woman collected the "bomb" and immediately took it to a police station in Townsville. The police took hold of the device and contacted experts to examine it from all angles.
After careful investigation, the experts could not find any explosive content in the device.
The police began searching for the person who had placed the cell phone in the woman's backyard. Soon they arrested a 40-year-old man who had a lot of similar items.
The accused will be presented before the judge at Townsville Magistrates Court. He will be charged with creating a bomb hoax with the intention of terrorizing the resident of the house.
The investigation is ongoing, and the police are trying to find out whether the man and the woman had any relationship or knew each other.
The rising number of terrorism incidents has made people more vigilant, and the police are taking strict action against anyone who tries to spread terror in any way.
