The Broward Sheriff’s Office is searching for a stolen fertilizer truck holding 600 pounds of ammonium nitrate on its flatbed.

Ammonium nitrate is commonly used as a fertilizer but can be used to make explosives, according to BSO spokeswoman Dani Moschella.

The red Ford F-350, which belongs to a Jacksonville environmental company, was stolen Tuesday night from the Red Roof Inn at 2460 State Road 84 in Dania Beach, Moschella said.

Moschella said the same group of thieves also tried unsuccessfully to steal another truck from the parking lot Tuesday night.

Anyone who sees the vehicle, which has the words ‘’Dean’s Environmental Service’’ written on the side, should call Crime Stoppers at 954-493-8477.

The thief tried to steal two other F350s in the same area.

I wonder if the terrorists in our midst are smart enough to try to throw off an investigation by making this look like a crime of opportunity instead of a crime related to the cargo? If the police think they’re just looking for a group of truck thieves they may not look in the same places as they would if they were investigating the theft of the fertilizer itself. I’d like to think the terrorists already here are stupid and wouldn’t think ahead as far as trying to throw police off their trail, but that would be a horrible mistake — never underestimate your enemy.

I hadn’t thought of it that way but if the MSM could blame it on American revolutionaries as opposed to foreign terrorists, they would have a field day with it.

12 sacks of fertilizer, probably a 60-30-10 formula isn’t really the right kind of stuff. The kind used to make bombs is pure pellet kind sold bulk, by the truck load to farmers

Post#10, assuming it was a newer model Ford, it also should be a flat bed

Fords trucks come in short beds and long beds maybe the Sheriff meant long bed and hopefully JoeO’Blundgeon was wrong.

Is there any more information about the reported 400 pounds that went missing from a Fredrick, Maryland Southern States about a month ago?
