The Riverside County Sheriff yesterday posted a notice that some blasting agents were stolen from a construction site at teh 25000 block of Newport Rd in Menifee.

Here's an excerpt from the notice...
Upon arrival, deputies learned that unknown suspect(s) forced entry into a temporary permitted storage area located at a construction site.

Taken was a quantity of a blasting agent, a compound mix designed to be used in quarry and construction blasting operations. The compound is stable and does not become volatile until used in combination with other explosives.
And here's a photo of the blasting agent...

Because of the nature of the material, the Sheriff has brought in the fed boys. If you know anything, contact the Sheriff at (951) 940-6200.

  • Note: The ATF announced that they have $5,000.00 for anyone who can provide the tip that leads to the arrest of these thieves. That's a lot of Christmas presents.

  • The material taken did NOT include the blasting caps and is safe.

    Without the caps, the explosives are little more than clay.
