Police Dispose Of 20,000 Pounds Of Fireworks By Detonating Them All

MPD's bomb squad recently assisted the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives with the disposal of approximately 20,000 pounds of seized fireworks over the course of three and a half days in Glasscock County. Odessa, Lubbock, and Amarillo's bomb squads were also there to assist. The fireworks were seized through a large case worked by the ATF. The opportunity and training received on this disposal was incredibly helpful for our local bomb technicians.
