ACT Policing is warning the community of dangerous pipe bombs which have been located on public paths in Belconnen this week.

In the last two days, police responded to reports of several pipe bombs that were located within the vicinity of Lake Ginninderra between Joynton Smith Drive and Ginninderra Drive in Belconnen.

ACT Policing is urging anyone who locates a suspicious item within the area not to touch it and immediately contact police on Triple Zero (000).

Anyone who witnesses suspicious behaviour is urged to contact police on 131 444.

While there is no information or reports to suggest that these pipe bombs are currently in other parts of Canberra, police are urging any Canberrans to report suspicious items that match the description of a pipe bomb to police.
