Police in California are looking for a suspect who is setting off explosives in a small city near Sacramento.
The Elk Grove Police released a video showing one of the incidents involving the bomber in hopes of catching him.
The first incident took play on Tuesday, March 12 around 7:30 p.m. Detectives say someone set off an explosion inside the bathroom at Jones Park.
The blast was reportedly strong enough to blow the door off of a bathroom stall. No one was reported injured in the explosion.
Police say that the following day, at approximately 7:40 p.m., surveillance footage captured the suspect wearing a black hoodie on a bicycle in Baneberry Court.

He was seen placing an explosive device into a trash can that was out on the street. As he rode away the explosion blew out of the top of the can.
"It shook the entire house. We were really confused, we'd never heard anything like that," neighbor Anthony Harris told KCBS-TV.
Police say the explosion caused significant damage to the bin.
They say the explosive device in both incidents was identified as high-grade illegal commercial fireworks, and the suspect has been linked to both blasts.
There is a $1,000 reward in the case.
