Bomb scare on Montague Street in Brooklyn Heights
One of several across a jumpy city
Police closed Cadman Plaza West between Montague and Tillary streets in Brooklyn Heights at roughly 5:30 p.m. on Wednesday, April 17, after the report of a suspicious object at TD Bank on Montague Street was called in.
A crowd watched bomb squad activity from the steps of nearby Brooklyn Borough Hall and helicopters were reported buzzing the area.
The suspicious object was discovered to be a thermos jug, an NYPD spokesperson told the Brooklyn Eagle. “It was coffee,” he said.
