Charlotte-Mecklenburg police said they are investigating after a device that was “intentionally designed” to look like an explosive was found in uptown Charlotte Sunday. Investigators said they rendered it safe.
CMPD said it received a call about a suspicious package left unattended near the intersection of Trade Street and Tryon Street shortly after 11 a.m. According to the police report, it was located outside the Bank of America Corporate Center.
Officers arrived at the scene and began shutting down the area. They cleared everyone out and called CMPD’s Bomb Squad Unit to investigate, police said.
Investigators are working to determine who planted a fake bomb in the heart of Uptown. We are now getting our first look at the suspicious package after an uptown worker shared this photo with me. @wsoctv pic.twitter.com/AKKqeKWRBj
