Three juveniles have been charged with Arson First Degree after an acid bomb exploded at the home of a Millbrook resident.

At 4:30 Monday afternoon, three juveniles placed an acid bomb at the front door of a home at 221 Pinewood Drive and knocked on the door. Fortunately for the resident, the bomb exploded after she opened and shut the door.

Two 15 year olds were charged as juveniles and a 16 year old was charged as an adult, following an investigation by the Millbrook Police Department and the State Fire Marshals Office. The 16 year old is currently being held under a $15,000.00 bond.
