Police activity in connection with the bomb outrages is unabated. Visits to a number of houses at night resulted in a discovery of explosives at Manor Park. Two arrests were made. A series of muffled subterranean explosions near the Stepney electricity station alarmed the neighbourhood. The electric lights went out, and several windows were cracked. It is officially stated, however, that the explosions were due to a fault in a transformer.

Five hundred detonators and a considerable quantity of gelignite were stolen overnight from a stone quarry at Wirksworth.
