“Explosives detonating cord found; 2 arrested”

ARTICLE SNIPPET: “Federal explosive charges were filed Thursday against two men in a case that prompted Wichita police to issue a warning earlier in the week that dangerous explosives were being sold on the black market.

Darrell E. Cook, 33, and Shane A. Knoffloch, 36, both of Wichita, were being held on $250,000 bond after they were charged with one count of possession of stolen explosive materials. They are scheduled to appear today in U.S. District Court in Wichita.

The item identified in court papers was a detonating cord that can burn underwater and is similar to fuses used in mining operations.

Police issued their warning Monday after Crime Stoppers got a call from a man who said someone had offered to sell him detonating cord and 3-foot tubes of explosives. Police said Thursday that the tubes have not been recovered.”

ARTICLE SNIPPET: “Anyone with information about the explosives should call 911 or toll-free 888-283-2662, authorities said.”
