SYOSSET, New York (WABC) — An investigation is underway Thursday morning in Syosset after suspicious chemicals were discovered inside a home.
The Syosset Bomb Squad was called to the scene on Patricia Lane after a variety of chemicals were found inside the house.
Nassau County police arrived around 1:30 p.m. Wednesday, and Patricia Lane was shut down for most of the afternoon as a precaution.
Video from the scene shows several unknown chemicals removed from the home and lined up on the lawn.
Officials believed the materials could be dangerous, prompting a response from the bomb squad in the residential neighborhood.
Police say the chemicals were considered too hazardous to transport, so they were destroyed on site.
Neighbors reported hearing a loud noise during the process and said their homes shook.
Thursday morning, police say one resident is being held for questioning. No charges have been announced as Nassau County police continue their investigation.
Authorities expect to provide an update later Thursday.
