WHITE PLAINS, N.Y. — A small explosive device was found by the door of an apartment building on Odell Avenue in White Plains, N.Y., early Monday after residents reported hearing booms, the White Plains Police Department said. The department said it was talking to two people of interest in the matter Monday afternoon.

Residents reported what they believed was a transformer explosion around 4:30 a.m., according to the White Plains Police Department. Police checked local transformers and found nothing out of the ordinary.

An officer noticed the device near the apartment building door just after 6 a.m., the department said. No injuries were reported in connection with the incident, and no property was damaged by the incident.

Nearby residents were told to stay indoors temporarily. City and county police, FBI agents, experts from the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives, and an ATF bomb-sniffing dog were on the scene for hours.

The FBI said there was no threat to public safety. Public Safety Commissioner Wade Hardy said the explosive object was not set up for remote detonation.

Neighbor Yulissa Severino said she heard two loud booms during the night and had heard similar noises in recent weeks. Yulissa Severino watched from her balcony as police led two men away in handcuffs on Monday.
