Gates Police say they have learned what led to a home explosion late last year on Noel Drive.
Police say the explosion on December 9th was determined to be an accident, after the home owner had inadvertently altered a component of the interior gas meter which caused natural gas to leak into the home.
An investigation found the resident had no malicious intent.
RG&E completed a thorough inspection of the gas infrastructure and found no other issues.
Gates Police want to remind residents to never alter or tamper with gas meters.
