BALTIMORE (AP) — The Maryland Department of the Environment says a tool containing a small amount of radioactive material has been stolen in Baltimore.

Officials say the device, a Dynasil RMD LPA-1 analyzer, is used to measure concentrations of lead in paint. It was reported stolen Monday afternoon from a home in Baltimore, where it had been used during a property inspection.
