On Friday night a car was spotted driving around the area - there was a loud blast so one of the neighbours came out to look but couldn't see anything and so went back inside.
On Saturday between 1.30pm and 2pm another man was walking into the mosque and saw something so he picked it up and took it inside and when the Imam came later he called the police at 10.30pm.
