“He drove past me and the side of his face seemed to have soot or black things everywhere.” Said Steve Warne.

Warne saw himself a decent look at the strange man who rammed out of the garage at around 6.15 p.m. shortly after the explosion at around 6.15 p.m. on Thursday. He had never seen him in the neighborhood.

“When the car finally made it, the guy drove past me at a high speed with which I tried to get out of here, and I tried to get a license plate and there was no plate on the car,” said Warne.

The Garden City police say that the driver is now an important point in their investigation.

“We are looking to find out who is driving this vehicle. It is a newer, model -colored Chevy sedan. We don't know who the occupant is; That is what we're looking for. “ Said Sgt. Craig Lewis from the Garden City Police Department.

“I don't know what to think. What's up? Something happened? Hopefully the neighborhood is safe “,” Said Pietraz.
