The NYPD on Wednesday afternoon said there were no threats to the public after they removed a suspicious device from a Gravesend co-op.
Authorities swarmed 2525 West 2nd Street at around 10:45 a.m. on March 25 after sources said a joint search warrant was issued by the NYPD and a Homeland Security Investigations task force based at John F. Kennedy Airport. Police temporarily closed the street to pedestrian and car traffic and advised New Yorkers to stay clear of the area. Video posted on Citizen showed police cars, fire trucks and what appeared to be an NYPD bomb squad vehicle lining the street.
Authorities discovered what is being described as a “suspicious device” on the scene and arrested a male resident, sources said. The exact nature of the device was not immediately clear.
Shortly before 4 p.m., police reopened the street and said the device had been “safely removed.”
“At this time, there are no known threats to public safety,” the NYPD said on social media.
