PHOENIX (CBS5) - Burglars broke into a Phoenix business Wednesday and stole a soil density meter containing radioactive material, police said.
Police said they were called to the unnamed business at 4300 South 34th Street, where employees discovered several construction items had been removed.
Officers said they are concerned because if the shell of the stolen container is compromised, those nearby could be exposed to radiation, Phoenix police Sgt. Steve Martos said.
No other information was available.

Between the time I saw this at work, and when I got home to do the blog entry, they corrected the text. The original said  "Officers said they are concerned because if the shell of the stolen container is compromised, those nearby could be exploded to radiation, Phoenix police Sgt. Steve Martos said."

I suppose it's good they had someone find that oops. With crimes like this, Darwin might be at work winnowing the herd...
