Four Suspicious Devices Found in Waterford Lakes near Orlando
The Orange County Sheriff's Office bomb squad has been called out to examine at least four suspicious devices — one of which may be a grenade — that were "strategically placed" beneath cars and outside a day care near the Waterford Lakes town center.
Orange County Mayor Teresa Jacobs said during a meeting this morning that multiple devices were left in ominous locations including near a day-care center, in the middle of road, under a sheriff's patrol car and a civilian car in the 700 block of North Alafaya Trail.
Several businesses at the shopping center have been evacuated along with a nearby apartment complex, according to Orange County Fire Rescue officials. Authorities have also shut down the road at Waterford Lakes Parkway and Alafaya Trail.
Initially, one device was reported to be a black metal canister in the road near the Best Buy department store.
Few details immediately available. Check back for updates.
