Two soldiers brazenly took plastic explosives out of Howe Barracks, Canterbury, a court was told.

A 36-year-old Colour Sergeant and a 27-year-old Lance Corporal from a Scottish regiment helped themselves to thousands of rounds of ammunition.

They were discovered after police raided a flat in Glasgow in February and found an identity card belonging to the Lance-Corporal.

When officers raided the barracks they also found plastic explosives in a holdall belonging to the Colour Sergeant.

Its NOT to be believed that they can get all this stuff out with out being found OUT.
Things like that should be well garded as in the wrong hands they could be used for lots of carnidge.

in our depot in germany i was in charge of the armoury and ammo stores, i slept in the armoury , and we also kept the ammo store keys there, i can not figure out how anybody, apart from the armourystoreman , can possibly gain axcess to arms and ammo, all weapons were well chained , and only myself and the qm knew where the keys were kept, the ammo store was deep in a basement of the old factory we used as a depot, and apart from myself and the qm again it was virtually impossible to get at the keys , apart from that it would have been impossible to walk about half a mile carrying ammo and not be seen, the biggest deterrent was for anyone daft enough to try it was a certain ,10 or 20 years in nick plus hard labour plus the inevitable, dishonourable discharge, the nick in germany in those days was beilefeld army prison, colchester and the mallet , were holiday camps in comparison , if you knew you could end up there , you did no wrong, believe me, ginger
