Stolen vehicle stopped by Fall River police contained radioactive material

Police arrested a man who was driving a stolen vehicle that was "hot" in more ways than one - the pickup owned by Cardinal Health Nuclear Pharmacy Services contained radioactive material. <snip>

Fall River Sgt. Roger LaFleur said he and the other officer followed the truck cautiously because of its reportedly radioactive contents and slick road conditions. They took the driver into custody after the pickup stopped.

A city hazardous materials team that inspected the truck and its fiberglass-capped pickup bed determined the five containers carrying suspected radioactive material had not been opened. The truck and containers were then returned to a Cardinal Health Nuclear Pharmacy Services employee.

LaFleur said he was unsure what material was in the containers, or where the truck had been taking the containers when the vehicle was stolen. <snip>

Hope Homeland Sec gets on that

Who left it running while he got his coffee.

news. It's a pretty general rule for company vehicles to be locked at all times when you're not in it. I think a company that deals with this material especially post 9/11 is gonna definately have that rule. The driver better have a union.

Not a good sign when you KNOW another "TERRORIST ATTACK" is needed for boosting Dickwad's approval rating....

left the truck running!

I love that movie, it is so, well, weird.

:wow:
