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.
That iss 12 - 50 lb sacks of fertilizer. I will have 15 tons spread across my bermuda pastures this spring.
They sound like desperate dumbass car thiefs instead of professional hijackers or terrorists. Hopefully.
“Moschella said the same group of thieves also tried unsuccessfully to steal another truck from the parking lot Tuesday night.”
—How do they know that it was the same group of thieves if they do not know who did it? Also, how do they know that it was a group and not just a single person that stole the truck?
