TWO workers who kept their cool when they found explosives at a council recycling centre have been praised for preventing “a potential tragedy”.

George Burgess was on duty at the centre in Keith, Banffshire, when he noticed someone had left two unusual looking metal boxes in the section for small electrical items. One of the boxes had wires protruding from it. Mr Burgess alerted his colleague Jim Durkin, 51, who has a family background in the opencast mining industry. And when Mr Durkin checked the boxes, he was shocked to find that one of them contained about 60 detonators for setting off larger explosive charges.
