According to Hennessy, “Investigators are conducting interviews and running down all leads that we have developed.”
In addition, she said investigators are looking into the Gregory General Contracting Company’s inventory of explosives. They are also investigating if the company has all the required permits. They are also determining whether it followed procedures in handling, storing, and securing high explosives and detonators.
Furthermore, Hennessy said she cannot specify how the company stored the explosives since the investigation is still on going.
Officers from the Susquehanna Regional Police are helping the ATF to find the thieves and the explosives.
According to Hennessy, “These thefts do occur nationwide, but they are rare.” The agency recorded 15 of such incidents across the country in 2015 and 2016.
Anyone with information regarding the explosive theft should call 1-888-ATF-BOMB or send an e-mail at [email protected].
