Truck carrying 600 pounds of nitrate stolen in Dania Beach

[ari-freedom]

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.

Police do not think this is terrorism realated...

[Jemian]

Relax. Someone just wants to get a jump on the growing season.

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

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

Sure would like more details on THOSE attempts.

All Dean's truck?

Lookin' for 350's ?

[bushpilot1]

Maybe its Revolution related.

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.

Ford F350, not the actual truck, but should be similar

Taken from my acquaintances at photobucket;

boom.. oops i guess thats what you get when you play with ammonium nitrate and oil...

The effect of 25kg of Ammonium nitrate used as a createring charge.

Ammonium Nitrate Detonation Henry's Lake 300lbs of Ammonium Nitrate detonated at once launched enough topsoil into the air to fill 88 dump trucks at Henry's Lake Idaho, resulting in a 40x60 foot crater for a wetland reserve pond.

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.

[LiveFreeOrDie2001]

Oh yea, no biggie, move along, nothing to see here. Uh, huh.

[Nathan Zachary]

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

[Son House]

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

[MissDairyGoodnessVT]

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

[MissDairyGoodnessVT]

awww hell, this country is in an uproar and we are going to he** in a handbasket, this is NOT GOOD NEWS

[TankerKC]

That’s a stellar bit of parking there.

[nicolezmomma]

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

[MagnoliaB]

Isn’t it also used to manufacture meth?
