CBRN event in North Carolina, Lumberton area, United States of America on Mon 13th October 2014

On October 13, 2014, one of the licensee’s trucks carrying a Troxler portable nuclear gauge was stolen from its parked position off I-95 in Lumberton, NC. The truck was stolen when the driver “stepped away from the truck to speak with the project foreman.” The driver, a licensee employee, contacted the RSO as well as the Lumberton police, after which point the RSO notified the Division of Emergency Management. Within an hour and a half of the theft, the truck was located by the Lumberton Police with the nuclear gauge still “locked and secured” in its metal box inside the truck. Upon locating the truck, the thief “ran from the scene,” appearing only to have stolen a light from the top of the truck.
