More Stolen Dynamite Found Near Fire Station
The dynamite stolen last week near Big Bear City continues to trickle in.
On Thursday, 40 sticks of the stolen explosive were found, deposited in front of a Moreno Valley fire station, said John D’Angelo, spokesman for the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives. A Riverside County bomb squad disposed of the explosives, he said.
The dynamite -- 686 sticks -- and a 30-pound bag of potentially explosive ammonium nitrate were stolen from a small gold-mining operation.
The ammonium nitrate and half of the dynamite were found Wednesday in containers left in front of a Riverside fire station.
