NEW ORLEANS —Devices found inside a truck parked in a Mid-City bank parking lot contained a combustible compound that could have caused an explosion, according to the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives.
The devices were being taken to a lab for further analysis, ATF officials said.
Initial reports said only one device was in a Ford F-150 truck parked in the lot since Friday, but New Orleans Police Department spokesman Frank Robertson said two were discovered later in the morning.
By early afternoon, police said a total of eight devices, one which included a timer and a fuse, were discovered.
When officers investigated the truck and opened the door, they said smoke came out of the vehicle and they immediately called in bomb squad members.
According to police, the devices looked like “candlesticks,” and it appeared that someone was attempting to destroy the vehicle.
Investigators said they know who the truck belongs to, but were unable to contact the owner.
