White Plains after residents<\/a> reported hearing loud booms early Monday morning, police said.<\/p>\nWhat we know:<\/p>\n
No injuries were reported and no property was damaged.<\/p>\n
White Plains police said residents first called around 4:30 a.m., believing a transformer had exploded. Officers checked nearby transformers but found no issues. About 90 minutes later, just after 6 a.m., an officer spotted the device near the entrance of a small apartment building on Odell Avenue.<\/p>\n
Authorities are speaking with two people of interest, police said.<\/p>\n
ATF, FBI investigate\u00a0 <\/p>\n
The incident prompted a large response from local and federal agencies, including city and county police, the FBI and the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives. An ATF bomb-sniffing dog was also brought to the scene. Nearby residents were asked to stay indoors for a time as a precaution.<\/p>\n
The FBI said later Monday there was no ongoing threat to public safety but did not release additional details.<\/p>\n
White Plains Public Safety Commissioner Wade Hardy said the device was not set up for remote detonation.<\/p>\n
One neighbor, Yulissa Severino, said she heard two loud booms overnight and had heard similar noises in recent weeks.<\/p>\n
“Those other times, I thought someone was going to blow up the block, it was so loud,” she told The Journal News.<\/p>\n
Severino said she later watched from her balcony as police led two men away in handcuffs.<\/p>\n
Attempts to reach the building\u2019s owner were not immediately successful.<\/p>\n
