Stolen explosives found on Corellia

Date: 091009
Planet: Corellia/Naboo
Region: Doaba Guerfel/Theed

Story: (Written by the Galactic News Agency, Ramona doesn't write IC).

Last night Corsec authorities found a suspect crate outside the Doaba Guerfel starport. Upon closer inspection it they discovered that it contained the outer shells of military-grade explosives. The cores and primers of the explosives however were missing.



Further investigations revealed that the crate had been recently reported as stolen from a military depot on Naboo, outside Theed. Despite thought to be stolen by Rebels it had not been deemed an important concern as only thirty two grenades were in the entire container - a platoon of soldiers can go through more than that amount in a singly skirmish. Now, with all 32 casings found but the explosive cores and primers missing still, the situation has changed somewhat - if combined the amount of explosives that was removed from the grenades could form quite a charge, especially if used against non-hardened civilian buildings.

So far there's no suspect yet in this case though the investigation is still going on.
