Police Investigating Car from Mass. in Niagara Falls
2013-04-19
Remember: early media reports are often incomplete or flat out wrong.
NIAGARA FALLS, NY - A high ranking source tells 2 On Your Side that the traffic stop in Niagara Falls this morning was routine, but police are searching items in the vehicle and residents are being asked to stay away from the area.

Police stopped the car at 19th and Elmwood in the Falls. The vehicle has Massachusetts license plates.

A source earlier this morning said the two occupants were Russian nationals, but police now say that is not true.

The FBI tells 2 On Your Side they are aware of the situation and that their joint-terrorism task force is assisting the NYSP.
Update from WIVB News: False alarm.
As a precaution, authorities investigated the vehicle to determine whether it was safe. A remote controlled robot tested the vehicle. Belongings from the vehicle were all tested, and all items tested negative.

Mayor Paul Dyster says the people inside the vehicle are U.S. citizens.
