Investigation into hazardous materials near Hradec Kralove continues

Police in the north Bohemian town of Libcany near Hradec Kralove are continuing their investigation on the site of the company Vertex, where over 1000 types of hazardous contaminants were discovered on Saturday. The material was being stored in barrels on the grounds of a small chemical factory. According to a district official, most of the materials are crude oil-based, and those especially dangerous, like cyanides, were removed from the site on Saturday. Three people have been arrested for selling chemical goods, and for possession of hazardous materials. A special decontamination unit is on site, but no evacuation order has been issued for the area. Police have ordered an information ban surrounding the incident until Monday, when results from lab tests will be available.
