Someone blew up a port-a-potty on Pittsburgh’s North Side sometime overnight into Tuesday morning, according to city police. This is the second time in two weeks that a porta-a-potty would be blown up in two weeks.
A construction crew on Itin Street in the city’s East Allegheny neighborhood reported the blown-up portable mobile toilet a.k.a port-a-potty, to authorities around 7 a.m., according to Public Safety spokesman Maurice Matthews.
Following the destruction of the mobile toilet, the bomb squad upon close examination of the destruction site discovered that an explosive destroyed the toilet, Matthews said. A K-9 unit searched the area for other explosives but turned up nothing.
