What I want to know is how these people got thier hands on 3000 lbs of Ammonium Nitrate

15 ROPers -- that's only 200 pounds each. What's in a bag, 10 pounds, 20 pounds, 50 pounds?

15 guys, each picking up a bag of fertilizer, over a two month period ... wouldn't be noticed by anyone.

But, then again, someone noticed.

They are in the slammer.

The bags are 25 kg each. In the US they would be 50 pound bags.

For 3 metric tonnes that would be 120 bags which works out to 10 bags for each adult that was arrested. If each of them drove around the Greater Toronto Area and bought one or two bags from each store that they visited, they would not be noticed at all, especially at this time of year.

They could even hit the same stores if they went in at different times or on different days.

Additionally, they had a rural property which they were using for training purposes. Quantities purchased that would draw attention in an urban store might not draw attention if purchased from a rural farm supplier.
