UPDATED: FBI Investigating Suspicious Devices Found Near Power Lines

TYNGSBOROUGH, MA - The FBI is leading an investigation into suspicious devices found near power lines in Tyngsborough, which right now they say shows no evidence tying it to terrorism.

While responding to a brush fire at 3 p.m. on Thursday March 30 in the area of 50 Locust Ave., crews noticed items that didn't appear to be part of the transmission system, the FBI said in a press release issued Thursday afternoon. Crews alerted National Grid which assessed the situation and alerted law enforcement.

Massachusetts State Police and FBI special agent bomb technicians responded and identified multiple incendiary devices similar in structure to pipe bombs in the area.

The FBI says early Thursday morning the devices were determined to be non-explosive and were rendered safe.

Tyngsborough Police Chief Richard Howe said in a statement issued Thursday afternoon that police determined there was no apparent danger to the public and the devices have been secured.
