NEWARK, N.J. – A police bomb squad in New Jersey’s largest city is using a robot to examine a vehicle containing what appears to be two gasoline canisters, wires and some type of device.

Police said earlier Wednesday that the wires were connected to the device, but now say they’re not sure that’s the case.

The Dodge Omni is parked about six car lengths from a railroad overpass in Newark that serves Amtrak and NJ Transit trains. The trains are still running.
