Agents from the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms are investigating a potentially dangerous discovery in Joplin. Dynamite was found this morning in a dumpster on 32nd Street. The bomb squad determined there was no risk of an explosion. And the ATF has the explosives in a secure location for further testing. They will run (are running) traces on the dynamite to determine where it came from.
Lt. Delmar Haase - Joplin Police Dept.
"We don`t have a suspect right now, we`ll be reviewing businesses in the area watching videos if they have surveillance, looking for a van."
The police say this is an isolated event and there`s no reason to be afraid.
