| A large amount of chemicals, about 3,300 gallons, have been stolen from a concrete plant in Bogota, N.J. has sent law enforcement officials on high alert, WNBC-TV is reporting on its Tuesday morning news program. The chemical Rheocrete, a form of nitrate, is commonly used to prevent corrosion in steel, but officials said it could be used as a deadly chemical weapon, WNBC-TV reports. Police said they believe the theft of tanker truck in New Jersey earlier this month could be connected. WNBC-TV reports that a nationwide alert has been sent out. |
