Three men have been arrested on suspicion of setting off a string of explosions in post boxes and telephone kiosks.
Six post boxes and two phone boxes in West Sussex were hit in the two-hour spree on 26 December.
Two men aged 22, from Chichester, and a 23-year-old from Hampshire were arrested on suspicion of causing explosions likely to endanger life.
They were released on police bail until 5 February.
