STOCKBRIDGE, Ga., Jan. 15 (UPI) -- Henry County police are in shock over four young men's decision to cause a small chemical explosion at a Wal-Mart in Georgia to mask their theft of a toy.
Lt. Jason Bolton told the Atlanta Journal-Constitution how the four entered the Wal-Mart Sunday and after shoplifting a toy, mixed swimming pool chemicals together to create a diversion.
"It's just hard to believe they did something like this to shoplift something as insignificant as a toy," Bolton said of the unusual event.
"These guys turned a shoplifting misdemeanor into charges that will be at the very least be one of terroristic acts," he added.
While the young men successfully escaped the store amidst the confusion that followed the explosion, some inside the store required emergency care.
The paper said four people visited an area hospital due to respiratory problems while another three individuals were released after being treated by emergency workers at the site.
