SJPD finds explosives, bomb-making materials in San Jose business & home
San Jose resident Adam Mirassou, accused of possessing bomb-making materials.
SAN JOSE, Calif. - A man in San Jose has been arrested after allegedly possessing equipment to produce bombs, according to police.
Police responded to a commercial burglary early Monday in the 1200 block of Old Bayshore Highway when they came across a supposed "destructive device manufacturing operation" inside the business while doing a security sweep of the building.
Authorities then did a deeper search of the business and the residence of its owner, Adam Mirassou, and named him the main suspect.
At Mirassou's business and home, they found over a hundred pounds worth of "precursor explosive-making materials, assembly equipment, and completed explosives."
It's unclear what Mirassou intended to use the bomb materials for. He was booked into the Santa Clara County Main Jail.
