During the investigation, police said that they found there could be ties between a White supremacist group and Scott Anderson.

Fresno Police, Paco Balderrama, stated that there was no clue to believe that the bombings were going to hold, leading to quick action.

Law enforcement is still digging and investigating the motive behind the bombing.

Balderrama said, “On January 8 of 2023 detectives from the northwest policing district responded to 3560 west San Jose avenue for a pipe bomb detonation under a vehicle, Detectives learned that there was an additional pipe bomb detonated inside the same vehicle on January 6.”

Paco Balderrama also informed that they could limit in on Anderson following that bombing and collected more evidence on another bombing incident on December 13.

In another statement, Balderrama said, “It became apparent very quickly that the suspect or suspects in this case were professing in skill level of making bombs and also their frequency.”

According to Fresno Police, on February 23, 2023, Scott Anderson left the city when three separate locations related to him were identified, and search warrants were issued.

However, on the very next day, Scott was arrested by authorities in Riverside, along with his mate.

Due to the arrest risk, nearby civilians had to be moved as a precaution.

After Scott’s detention, a chain of search warrants led to four more arrests for several firearms violations and drug trafficking.

Fresno County District Attorney Lisa Smittcamp said that the people of the state of California would be filing, had filed a criminal alleging four different defendants for the actions that the police spoke about that happened in January and February of 2023.

One of those four defendants, one identified as Frank Rocha, was also charged with possessing bomb-casting material.

Frank is still awaiting extradition to Fresno and was arrested alongside Anderson in Riverside County. Anderson has since been locked in the Fresno County Jail on a no-bail warrant, and he also confronted federal charges in three of the bombings.

As alleged in the federal complaint, US Attorney Phil Talbert said three pipe bombings charged all damaged cars involved in interstate commerce.
