More than 2 Dozen Pipe Bombs Found Inside Westchester County Apartment, Prosecutor Says

Prosecutors say investigators found supplies to make explosives and 25 complete pipe bombs, and a judge ordered Elders held in federal custody.

  • On Monday, police arrested 65-year-old Raymond Elders at his 11 Odell Avenue apartment in White Plains after discovering at least 25 pipe bombs, prompting federal charges including use of a weapon of mass destruction.
  • Reports of loud booms on Monday led authorities to the building, where officers spotted an unexploded pipe bomb on the front steps and subsequently found two dozen additional devices inside Elders' residence.
  • Surveillance footage from March 18 shows Elders lighting and throwing a device into the street, and officers encountered him Monday holding a lighter with "blueish black chemical residue" on his hands.
  • During a Tuesday court appearance, a judge ordered Elders held without bond after a prosecutor called his behavior "dangerous, flagrant and reckless," noting it was a "miracle" nobody was hurt or killed.
  • White Plains Commissioner of Public Safety Wade Hardy assured residents the neighborhood is safe with no explosive materials remaining, while Elders stays in federal custody pending his next court date on April 29.
