Police release ‘person of interest’ photo, seek more info in South Salt Lake pipe bomb case

Authorities safely detonated the bomb shortly after it was discovered Tuesday in a Raising Cane’s drive-thru.

Police released a photo on Wednesday of a “person of interest” after a bomb was located and safely detonated Tuesday at a South Salt Lake fast-food restaurant.

The individual has not yet been identified, but in the image captured from cameras early Tuesday, they can be seen wearing a yellow, long-sleeved shirt and white baseball cap. Anyone with information about the case or the person in the photo may contact South Salt Lake Police at 801-412-3645.

The pipe bomb was found on an outdoor table at the Raising Cane’s drive-thru on 2150 South State Street at about 12:20 p.m. Tuesday. It was later “safely detonated” by authorities, and no one was injured.

The Raising Cane’s was evacuated and roadways in the area were briefly shut down as authorities detonated the bomb. The restaurant later reopened Tuesday afternoon.

Police on Tuesday said no threats to the area had been received. Bomb technicians are investigating the components of the device, police said.
