Police released surveillance video Wednesday of a recent attack on a PG&E transformer in San Jose, one of two recent transformer attacks allegedly by a man whose home contained an array of explosive devices.
. Assistant Police Chief Paul Joseph was also joined by Mayor Matt Mahan, and FBI San Francisco Special Agent in Charge Robert Tripp to discuss the case.
Investigators also probed the possible manufacture of narcotics in the home. Police and FBI evidence technicians were at the home from March 1 through March 4 because of all the evidence that needed to be collected, according to police. Neighboring homes were evacuated over fears of an explosion. Several firearms were also recovered.
During the news conference, police showed surveillance video of the Snell Ave. attack, which showed a person police identified as Karasev fleeing on a bicycle just before a transformer housed by a fence outside a building goes up in flames. Police also showed images of the explosives and other evidence gathered from the Potomac Court home.
Last month, two people - including a known neo-Nazi - were indicted by a federal grand jury after allegedly plotting to attack five power substations in Maryland and Pennsylvania to"lay waste" to the city of Baltimore. An FBI intelligence report published in January and reviewed by CBS News confirms nearly two dozen crimes related to the power grid - including arson, shootings and tampering with equipment - remain under investigation. The report indicates that in these cases, investigators have not been able to determine the motive or whether there was any criminal coordination.
