Man arrested for blowing up PG&E transformers in San Jose, police say

SAN JOSE, CA -- San Jose Police Dept is investigating after a suspect possessing explosive material was arrested. He's now believed to be responsible for blowing up two PG&E transformers.

The suspect, 36-year-old San Jose resident Peter Karasev made his first court appearance on Friday.

The investigation began with two incidents involving explosive devices between Dec and Jan.

On Jan. 5, officers responded to the 6000 block of Snell Ave. on a report of a damaged transformer. A PG&E employee said an explosion occurred the night before around 2 a.m.

The employee also said a similar incident happened on Dec. 8, 202, at the 5000 block of Thornwood Dr., in which an explosion caused damage to a transformer.

Both explosions left thousands without power.

Investigators say surveillance video and cell phone pings led them to Karasev, arrested on Wednesday.

Police also say he had an "inactive" meth lab in his home and admitted using methamphetamine as a replacement for Adderall during the shortage.

Additionally, the complaint details the suspect's interest in model rockets and setting some off outside his home. Investigators also say he told them he'd been having difficulty due to the war between Russia and Ukraine since he has family in both countries.

"Related to the transformer bombings, he's charged with two counts of exploding a destructive device as well as two counts of destroying an electrical line as well as an arson charge," said Deputy District Attorney Victoria Robinson with Santa Clara County. "Related to the items found in his home, he is charged with possessing materials with the intent to create a destructive device."

As more comes out from that investigation, the district attorney says Karasev could face more charges.

He's being held without bail and is expected back in court on April 26.

      Nah this isn't a lone wolf false flag. Look at the name. This is a "rUSsIaN agENt" false flag to justify fbi literal pedophile retards terrorizing every American who calls zelensky a kike.

      Plus if they attack themselves and blame Russia they think they can after-the-fact justify their terror attack on a nato ally's energy infrastructure. They think if they make up two narratives at a time it's brilliant strategy even though both fail. They're fucking idiots

      The article says phone pings helped bust him, so presumably some form of triangulation using RSSI. It also mentions surveillance footage, but does not state what was captured.

    I honestly think he's hardly an exception for these cases. My theory is that most are probably Chinese/Russian probing attacks covered up by the government. With the remainder being a mix of tweakers like this and a few random AtomWaffen wignats sprinkled in.

    The fact that the media is trying to spin it all as the latter is disturbing but predictable.

    Instead of addressing the adderall shortage that forced this man to cook his own meth and lose his fucking mind enough to start bombing shit, they’re trying to paint him as some sort of a callous villain on par with Chemical Ali.

    they probably blew up due to lack of maintenance and they blamed it on one of californias quarter million homeless schizophrenic people who cant defend themselves in court without an apathetic public defender that just wants to avoid the work associated with going to an actual trial so theyll always tell the client to plead guilty for a plea bargain from the da's office
