CHICAGO -- Five hundred pounds of commercial-grade fireworks are believed to have been stolen from a train that started right here in Chicago.

Federal investigators think the fireworks disappeared as the train passed through Ohio on its way to Detroit.

The shells are the type used in public fireworks displays. Officials say they could be very dangerous in the wrong hands.
