Explosives missing at construction site (California)
Tuesday, November 28, 2006
Two packages containing 110 pounds of explosives were stolen over the weekend from a construction site in Menifee, a federal firearms official said Tuesday.
Workers arriving Monday at the site in the 25000 block of Newport Road found a chain-link fence broken and the door to the explosives magazine pried open, said Susan Raichel, spokeswoman for the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives.
An inventory of the materials later revealed that two 55-pound cases of Blastex blasting agent were missing, she said. The theft was reported about 6 a.m. Monday by an employee of the Edic and Watt Inc. construction company. The explosives are used for quarry and construction blasting, Raichel said.
"In the wrong hands, this could be dangerous," she said. "It could create a deadly result if someone doesn't know what they're doing."
