Bundaberg police are currently investigating a break and enter offence that occurred at a property in Meadowvale.
Sometime between October 7 and October 10, unknown offenders have forcibly entered a shed situated on the Rosedale Road property and taken five boxes containing a total of fifty “Den-Co-Fume” cartridges.
“Den-Co-Fume” is considered dangerous, and contains sodium nitrate and carbon. The cartridges are easily ignited and exposure to fumes can cause carbon monoxide poisoning. Once ignited, the cartridge initially emits a dark black smoke that dissipates, followed by a colourless, odourless gas.
If you locate any of these cartridges, police urge you to call 000 immediately to report the discovery. Do not touch or attempt to move the cartridges.
