Hemet police possibly targeted with booby trap again
From the Associated Press:
HEMET -- Firefighters investigating a blaze in downtown Hemet have discovered a rocket-propelled grenade launcher on the roof of a market that appeared to be pointed at a nearby police station.
In a release Tuesday, Lt. Duane Wisehart says firefighters found the vintage military rocket after a June 3 blaze at Los Altos Market.
Wisehart says the rocket could have been propelled and done damage, but it wasn't clear if it could explode.
Booby trap attacks have plagued the small Hemet Police Department this year, and homes of dozens of white supremacists have been raided as part of a probe into the attacks.
