[TexasTowelie]

Law enforcement officials in Fisher and Jones counties are asking drivers to be on lookout for cylinder-shaped explosive devices discovered along roadways.

At least seven of the devices believed to be used in oilfield operations were discovered, according to social media posts Thursday from the sheriff's offices for Fisher and Jones and the Hamlin Police Department.

The specific roadways were not disclosed.

In one of the photos released by law enforcement, the black devices with orange coverings on the top and bottom appear to be a couple inches longer than a vehicle driver's seat and about 3 to 4 inches in diameter.

The bomb squad for the Abilene Police Department has taken possession of the devices, the Hamlin police said.

3. I suspect that there are going to be some questions somewhere

and somebody is going to get their @$$ chewed out.

I also wonder if any of those explosives found their way into the wrong hands. I can imagine some MAGAts thinking that they found a pot of gold if they recovered one of the devices.
