(Reuters) - Two men have been charged with explosives offenses over a suspected plot to use civil unrest over the police shooting of a Black man as cover to rob cash machines, Pennsylvania state Attorney General Josh Shapiro said.
The driver and passenger of a van were arrested on Wednesday with dynamite, a propane tank torch, a Taser and tools including electric drills, bolt cutters and machetes, Shapiro said in a statement late on Thursday.
“The explosives and tools recovered in the van are commonly used to attempt to dismantle and steal proceeds from ATMs (automated teller machines). There have been at least 30 ATM bombings in Philadelphia in the last four days,” it said.
The two suspects appeared to be part of a larger ring of 10-15 vehicles that had set off from a parking lot in a convoy, it said, citing Philadelphia police who were responding to a commercial burglary alarm.
The convoy fled when police appeared and officers were able to stop only one of the vans with the two suspects inside.

REPARATIONS!!
Thank goodness these peaceful protests are spontaneous and not planned. /sarc
“The two suspects appeared to be part of a larger ring of 10-15 vehicles...”
That’s a bit scary, being able to organize that many people to commit felonies...if this country doesn’t step it up a bit, we’re toast.
I wonder how much dynamite the leftists have and I wonder how they got it.
I wonder what was in the other vehicles that were not stopped.
Hell, ALL of them are using it as an excuse to rob, steal, loot, and burn.

Exactly. You beat me to it.
Hope the anti-Trump voters feel warm and cozy with the BLM types who will deduct slavery reparations from their pay and from sales of cars and houses.
A high price for phony virtue signaling white guilt.
