CHEBOYGAN, MI (WKZO AM/FM) — F.B.I. officials are investigating explosive devices found outside of cellphone stores in northern Michigan. They are believed to be linked to letters found last month in the Upper Peninsula.
The bombs, which were discovered and defused Thursday, were found in suspicious packages left outside a Verizon store in Cheboygan and an AT&T store in Sault Ste. Marie. The letters claimed to be from the “Coalition for Moral Telecommunications” and made demands of telecommunications companies. They were found at several telecommunications tower sites, according to the FBI.
Cheboygan authorities said emergency personal were dispatched around 9 a.m. Thursday after an employee reported a suspicious package near the door of the business. A bomb was found inside, which authorities removed and defused. A similar device was reported in Sault St. Marie.
Multiple law enforcement agencies were investigating.
