Reward sought for booby trap attacks
Rerouted Gas Pipe into the Gang Task Force Building
The Riverside County Board of Supervisors will vote Tuesday on whether to approve a $100,000 reward for information leading to an attempted attack on the Hemet-San Jacinto Gang Task Force.
Supervisor Jeff Stone proposed today that the reward be added to the county agenda for a Tuesday vote by the board.
A gang detective was targeted Tuesday when he was opening a rolling gate at the Gang Task Force Office near Florida Avenue when an improvised firearm fired a bullet within a few feet of the officer, but missing him.
The attack followed a New Year’s Eve attempted threat when police believe suspected gang members rerouted the gas line to the same building, filing the office with natural gas, poised for an explosion by any spark from a light switch or computer.
The supervisor’s reward would lead to any information that leads to an arrest or conviction of anyone involved in the two incidents. It has to be approved by the entire board before it’s offered.
