THUNDER BAY – A large amount of dynamite that prompted a police response after being found buried in a north side backyard may be linked to a 1960s-era theft, the homeowner reports.
“Someone came to the door and said they’d found dynamite in the backyard, and of course, my first reaction was, I was terrified of what that means — and should we get out of the house?”The incident led police to tape off a section of Marlborough Street and warn local residents away from the area as crews worked to unearth and examine the material under the supervision of an OPP explosives disposal expert on Wednesday.
According to Colquhoun, responders had reason to believe the discovery could be linked to a box of dynamite that was never recovered after an incident that occurred more than 50 years ago. The large number of sticks found — close to 100, she said — was another factor potentially matching with details from the historic theft.The Thunder Bay Police Service acknowledged the hypothesis as a possible explanation for the discovery, but could not confirm the details.The amount of dynamite could have posed a serious safety risk if it had been live, Colquhoun said.
