Staff of the Keith waste disposal centre have been praised for “averting a potential tragedy” after they found a package containing 60 explosive detonators. As a result of the discovery, they helped to avert tragedy which could potentially claim lives of other workers further down the processing line in the landfill. The police were called to the scene and bomb disposal experts later carried out a controlled explosion. The recycling centre was closed off to the public after the devices were uncovered. There is no information as to who left the boxes for recycling, but the contents were described as being “of some vintage” and are likely to have been left over from nearby quarrying sites.
It's only fair to share...
