Hertfordshire Police were called to Cowley Hill in Borehamwood at about 12:15 BST on Saturday, and a 100m (328 ft) cordon was put in place, with some nearby homes evacuated.
Unlike most such stories, there turned out to be something to it:
Controlled explosions took place following an assessment by the explosive ordnance disposal unit.
some on social media suggesting these were car bombs, not seen on the mainland since the IRA days:
The force said a 38-year-old man from Edgware, London, and a woman aged 38 from Borehamwood had been arrested in connection with the incident and were in custody. Police said they believed it was a "targeted attack on the victim" which had "caused a lot of concern in the local community".
The victim isn’t named either. Maybe when the accused are charged and the names revealed the MSM will take more notice. It finally made the 'Mail' on Saturday, but very, very far down the screen....
Robert Kovacs, 38, of Edgware, has since been charged with attempted murder, making an explosive substance with intent to endanger life / injure property and doing an act with intent to cause an explosion likely to endanger life / injure property.
Curious case.
