Endicott Bomb Squad

Several local governments are getting federal money to help protect the public from everything from bombs to cyber attack.

Some people in western Broome County were concerned when they heard what sounded like loud explosions.

The Endicott Police Department bomb squad was sent to a convenience store after a worker discovered a "suspicious" item in the parking lot.

Endicott police say a suspicious package found at a village business prompted the deployment of the agency's bomb squad.

Police are trying to determine who placed something designed to look like a pipe bomb near a Walmart store in Johnson City.

Authorities say they are investigating an incident in which a package, apparently intentionally rigged to look like an explosive device, was left in a vacant home in Vestal.
