NewsvinePolice: Bomb scare on train in NJ was hoax
Authorities in New Jersey say a bomb scare involving a package on a freight train appears to have been a hoax.
Authorities in New Jersey say a bomb scare involving a package on a freight train appears to have been a hoax.
Police in the town of North Bergen say dozens of officers searched through more than 1,000 packages taken from the freight train and finally found one package with an electronic device - but no bomb.
Police Chief Bill Gavin says the search was sparked by a tip from CSX Transportation that a package on the train from Florida contained a pipe bomb.
CSX says it stopped the train in North Bergen on Friday and uncoupled four cars there to be searched.
The police chief says the woman who shipped the package is in custody in Florida and federal authorities are investigating.
