Three men have been interviewed again by the States of Jersey Police as part of the ongoing investigation into the Haut Du Mont explosion. Police are not currently looking for anyone else. Jersey 's Chief of Police Robin Smith told ITV News: "They were reinterviewed and we had some additional reports from experts that we wanted to discuss with them." He added that a decision on any potential charges in the investigation, known as Operation Spire, is still some way off.
Mr Smith explained: "We are now at an advanced stage in this investigation ... in the next few weeks, maybe in the next month or two, we will be providing a file of evidence that we will send to the Law Officers Department. "Of course, they will then need quite significant time to carefully go through that given its complexity and it's their decision as to whether or not there is a suitable amount of evidence to make a decision on charging." "It is my expectation, my anticipation, that we will have some sort of decision by the end of this year." When asked about any formal description of the event, the Chief Officer added: "I think everybody believes it's a gas explosion but thinking it's a gas explosion and knowing it's a gas explosion requires the detailed investigation that we are having to go through. During the investigation, there have been 1,878 lines of inquiry, 1,078 statements taken, 1,787 exhibits collected and more than 6,500 documents analysed
