(CNN) -- A suspect has been arrested in connection with dry ice explosions at Los Angeles International Airport this week, police said.

The arrest come on the heels of two incidents at that airport on Sunday and Monday. The suspect, identifed as Dicarlo Bennett, 28, was charged with the Sunday incident, according to a Los Angeles Police Department statement.

LAX dry ice explosions 'an internal job, maybe a labor dispute or prank'

Though he was arrested in connection with both incidents, charges have been filed for only one.

Expert: Dry ice blasts no prank

"We want to reassure the traveling public, visitors and employees that LAX is safe and secure," Gannon said.

The suspect is being held on a $1 million bond and faces a charge of possession of a explosive or destructive device near an aircraft.

Police did not release any information on the suspect or a possible motive.

To get access to where the dry ice explosions occurred, you would need an employee badge, said Nancy Suey Castles, an airport spokeswoman.

On Sunday, dry ice in a plastic bottle exploded in an employee restroom at the airport, causing a brief shutdown of Terminal 2, the FBI said. No injuries were reported, and the terminal resumed operations after a brief evacuation.

The other incident occurred Monday at about 8:30 p.m. at the Tom Bradley International Terminal, airport police said,

Three plastic bottles containing dry ice were found, but only one had exploded, police said.

CNN affiliate KCAL said the blast took place in an employee restroom, inaccessible to nonemployees. Nobody was injured in that incident.

Dry ice, which is carbon dioxide in solid form, is used as a refrigerant for meats and ice cream, especially when shipped in a box. When dry ice becomes warm, it transforms into vapor.

Nancy Suey Castles says on the record: The area where this happened you need employee badge to access. Ground services company's and independent contractors are required to take off badges in the case of former employees. She will on respond to questions on the record that Bennett was employed or formerly employed by a ground services company at LAX.
