- Share via
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.
