NJ AG authorities announced that a Burlington County man was charged with possessing four destructive devices.
U.S. Attorney Philip R. Sellinger said Jeremy Giliberti, 52, of Mount Laurel, New Jersey, is charged by complaint with one count of possessing destructive devices.
Officials said he is scheduled to appear this afternoon before U.S. Magistrate Judge Douglas E. Arpert in Trenton federal court.
According to documents filed in this case and statements made in court:
Authorities say on July 26, 2023, Hamilton Township Police Division officers conducted a motor vehicle stop of Giliberti.
During a subsequent search of Giliberti’s vehicle, one of the officers found a duffle bag on the front passenger-side floorboard, which contained four pipe bombs, according to officials.
Officials say two of the devices were encased in 5-inch steel pipes, and two of the devices were encased in cardboard tubing wrapped in duct tape.
All four of the devices contained numerous metal pellets, an explosive mixture, and a pyrotechnic fuse, officials stated.
Officials said the possession of a destructive device charge carries a maximum penalty of 10 years in prison and a fine of up to $250,000.
