GLENDALE, Ariz. (AP) - Authorities say a man suspected of targeting a Glendale home with pipe bombs over the past 15 months has been arrested.
Glendale police say 50-year-old Gary Vogt was taken into custody Friday.
Three pipe bomb explosions have occurred outside the same home since June 2011. The most recent was Sept. 5 with the others on June 19, 2011 and July 25, 2011. There have been no reported injuries, but occupants of the home are puzzled about why it's been targeted.
Agents with the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives have been investigating the explosions along with Glendale police.
The homeowner placed cameras outside the house after one of the previous bombings. Photos show a person kneeling in the driveway and igniting the pipe bomb using a flame.
