New York Police Department Issues Warning About 'Dangerous' And Explosive 'Drano Bombs' Seen Used As Prank In Far Rockaway By Gangs « CBS New York: NEW YORK (CBSNewYork) — Some people are using a popular household cleaning product to make explosives, according to the NYPD.

Police put out an alert earlier in the week that warned of so-called “Drano bombs.”


Drano is most often used to unclog drains in sinks, but the NYPD said the creation, also known as a “bottle bomb,” could be exploded by using readily available household products in plastic containers, like soda bottles.
“We will periodically send out information about what’s being seen in various commands that we think is useful for all members of the department to know about,” Deputy Commissioner Paul Browne told 1010 WINS.
