Over the month of May, the Phoenix metro dealt with three separate flashlight bombs.
In each incident a flashlight was found, and when turned on, it exploded.
The Salvation Army has stopped taking donations of flashlights, over fears for people's safety.
Luckily, no one has been severely injured by the blasts, so far.
The randomness of the bombs has caused confusion among authorities.
So far no threats, demands, or messages of any kind have been received regarding the bombs.
Authorities have responded by placing a series of billboards around the metro area, warning citizens about the bombs.
Police are warning the public to report any flashlights found laying around, and to keep an eye on children to make sure they don't find one.
A reward of $10,000 has been announced for information which ends in a conviction.
