Explosives stolen from Whitehorse business (Canada)
Wednesday, May 16, 2007

The theft of 250 kilograms of explosives from a Whitehorse business over the weekend is under investigation, RCMP say. Cpl. Grant MacDonald said RCMP learned Tuesday afternoon of a break-and-enter at Yukon Pump, a mining and construction supply business in Whitehorse.

Upon arriving at the scene, officers discovered that thieves broke into the building over the weekend and stole 10 boxes of an explosive blasting agent weighing a total of 250 kilograms. The business operators did not notice the materials were missing until Tuesday morning. The stolen boxes contained two cartridges each of a "putty-like substance" in white plastic tube-wraps with the word Tovite written in red on each cartridge. Each tube-shaped cartridge is about 13 centimetres in diameter and 90 centimetres long.
