The Haz-Mat team and New Jersey State Police Bomb Squad were called in to Lakewood this morning for a suspicious item in the Industrial Park, officials say.
The suspicious paint-type can was located near the recycling center, and its contents are unknown.
Lakewood’s Fire Department and Police Department are on scene awaiting the arrival of Berkley’s Haz-Mat team and Bomb Squad.
UPDATED: 11:00 AM: The item was deemed safe.
Really? A bomb in industrial park? Because THAT’S the place that someone would put a bomb? C’mon…
Maybe aj but better safe than sorry if someone thought it was suspicious.
It could have been a very dangerous call. You just never know anymore, it could be on your front porch or it could be in a store or it could be on a street corner. Kudos for the LPD, LFD, Berkeley HazMat & NJSP Bomb Squad for keeping everyone safe today.
