That Ought To Be Easy To Locate

All points bulletin for a stolen truck containing 500 gallons of bleach:

The NYPD yesterday issued an alert warning cops to be on the lookout for a stolen truck containing a deadly industrial bleach capable of being used to make explosives.

The vehicle — a white 24-foot box truck — was stolen Thursday morning from the parking lot of the Savol Bleach Company, in East Hartford, Conn., police said.

Inside the truck are canisters containing 500 gallons of hypochlorite, a highly concentrated chlorine-based bleach used in the chlorination of residential swimming pools, police said.
