Explosives found in a Davoren Park backyard this week posed a serious risk to the surrounding neighbourhood, says Police Commissioner Grant Stevens.<\/h3>\n

Aaron Ellis, 43, appeared in court on Tuesday charged with possession and manufacture of explosives.<\/p>\n

Commissioner Stevens told FIVEAA Breakfast on Thursday:<\/p>\n

\u201cThe substance TATP that we located at the house is an extremely volatile substance, very dangerous, and I would venture to suggest that there are not too many sheds around South Australia that we would find those sorts of substances.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s too volatile [to move]. It\u2019s just absolutely risky stuff. That was the reason why it was dealt with onsite, too many risks to police and the community to move a substance like that, so we just get rid of it.<\/p>\n

\u201cIf that had gone off in an uncontrolled situation I think it would\u2019ve been quite a devastating result, it would\u2019ve been more than just that house.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n
