Moncton workers find explosive garbage

By QMI Agency

The RCMP's bomb squad was called to a Moncton, N.B., garbage-processing plant Wednesday morning after workers sorting trash noticed a container with explosives.

The workers were sorting through dry waste at the Berry Mills facility when they discovered three small cartridges of high explosives.

“In this case, these explosives could have harmed an innocent person because they were discarded carelessly," said RCMP Const. Brian Barnes. "We are lucky that employees discovered them and reacted properly by calling us."

Officers spent several hours searching through the trash to make sure there were no more explosives.
