Suspicious device in White Plains, N.Y. prompts FBI, ATF and police response after reported explosion

A street in White Plains, New York, was shut down all Monday after police earlier discovered at least one suspicious device near an apartment building while responding to a reported electrical transformer explosion, officials said.

Police, FBI and the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives zeroed in on the scene on Odell Avenue, which has since reopened.

White Plains is approximately 30 miles north of Midtown Manhattan.

Officers said they realized there was no transformer explosion after getting the call at around 4:30 a.m. Monday. Instead, they found what authorities are calling a suspicious device near 11 Odell Ave., a building where neighbors saw damage to the ground.

Police said one device was rendered safe by the Westchester County Bomb Squad. Sources said the device was dangerous, but not sophisticated enough to be detonated remotely.

FBI and ATF agents also collected evidence from an apartment at 11 Odell and two people of interest were being interviewed.
