Bomb link to Qld car yard investigated Police are investigating whether a bomb found at a Gold Coast business is linked to others planted at a local car dealership several months ago. Staff at a Burleigh Heads car canopy manufacturer were alarmed to discover the powder-filled container strapped to the fuel tank of a car they were fitting out on Monday morning. Police officers, including members of the bomb squad, firefighters and ambulance officers converged on Australian Work & Leisure Canopy on Central Drive after the alarm was raised at 8.40am (AEST). The entire block of businesses was evacuated before the bomb was removed by bomb squad officers about 12.45pm. Australian Work & Leisure Canopy business manager Ian Lyons said the explosives were in a plastic container about the size of a 1kg tin of fruit with a long wick hanging from it. It had been strapped to the car's fuel tank with cable ties. "I called the police straight away," he said. The bomb squad eventually took the article out and detonated it. The vehicle it was attached to had been delivered on Friday for a fit-out from Robina car dealership Von Bibra - where two bombs were found in April. A police spokesman said detectives were investigating whether Monday's bomb was linked to the Robina devices. Von Bibra general manager Martin Simpson wouldn't comment on the latest scare or the earlier bombs, telling AAP it was a matter for police. Improvised devices were found on his dealership's premises on April 23 and April 8 this year. Mr Lyons said some of his staff were shaken by Monday's events. "Some treated it as a bit of a joke and sort of laughed it off a bit, but the reality is when they find out it is a bomb they sort of go, `oh, maybe something might have happened'," he told AAP.
