MARIETTA, Pa. —
The theft of hundreds of pounds of explosives from a pipeline work site in Lancaster County is under investigation.
UPDATE: The Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives says more explosives were stolen than first thought. Investigators took a full inventory and discovered an additional case of dynamite was missing, bringing the total amount stolen to 704 pounds. The previous estimate was 640 pounds.
The ATF said 400 blasting caps were also taken.
The explosives were stored in a locked truck trailer left at the site on River Road in Marietta on Friday, according to the ATF. The work site security company discovered the theft Monday after noticing the trailer door was open and the locks were missing.

About 704 pounds of dynamite stolen from Atlantic Sunrise pipeline site; $10K reward for information
I hope they ended up in the right hands.
They could be used for a really big false flag.
Dynamite is great, but mortars are the ideal guerrilla weapon. Ideal.
On a previous thread it was stated that ATT was offering a $10,000 reward.
;-)
They’re just stock-piling a supply for their 4th of July fireworks festivities.
I’m familiar with the area. Likely just yokels.
Or a big bunch of suicide vests.
That ended when someone blew up their wife and the airliner she was on
Mortars and Claymores!
“The ATF said 400 blasting caps were also taken.”
Well, they seem to have half a clue of what to do.
Most job fun I’ve ever had was loading and blasting 50’ drill holes in a jack-leg quarry operation back in the day.
Punch a cap into a dynamite stick and lower it down with the wires to the bottom then drop in another stick. If you heard a splash keep dropping in more sticks until the splashes stop then fill the hole with a few bags of ANFO.
One time it rained and holes had more water than typical. The usual shot only took one or two sticks. This time it was six or seven.
The fly-rock on that shot took out a storage building and conveyor belt.
Gosh, what were they securing all weekend that was more important than a third of a ton of Iredyne?
If someone tries to get into my locked car an alarm will go off, I will receive a text and a phone call to advise me. My car will disable itself. The same will happen if someone tries to move my car by jacking it up or towing it. The theft security includes tracking and shutting it down if anyone defeated the first level of security.
Why in the heck aren’t explosives kept as secure??
Has anyone asked James Comey or Robert Mueller?
Can't say for sure but there are a lot of great bars in that on both sides of the river.
