An investigation into explosive devices found in a Dale City apartment took authorities this morning to a trailer home just outside Newport News.
The home of Alan Michael Blischak was searched during the early hours of Tuesday morning by authorities by Prince William and York counties. An explosive device was also found inside the trailer, according to Prince William fire and rescue spokesman Thomas Jarman. Investigators are mum on exactly what was found.
The Newport News bomb squad, Virginia State Police Bomb K9 Unit, the Department of Homeland Security, York-Poquoson Sheriff’s Office, and York County Fire and Life Safety Office were all involved.
The discovery follows a search of an apartment police said Blischak occupied at Dale Forest Apartments in Dale City when he was arrested last March 26. Bomb making chemicals, a self-timer, a circuit board, propane torch, tripod, battery pack, and blood samples were taken from the apartment, according to a search warrant filed in Prince William County court.
Blischak is charged in Prince William County with creating explosive devices. Jarman said officials in York County will also file charges on Blischak .
Blischak was released from jail on a $50,000 bond. He is expected in a Prince William County courtroom on May 7.
