COLUMBUS, Ohio — About 1,600 people remained out of their homes Thursday as police ordered evacuations within half a mile of a building where 600 pounds of unstable dynamite was found in a storage locker.
Authorities reported two arrests for looting in the closed area and said they arrested the man who rented the locker.
Police warned property owners within a mile of The Spare Room to prepare for breaking glass in case the dynamite exploded. The dynamite was found Wednesday by the warehouse owner, who entered the locker because the tenant had not paid the rent.
