A man is in custody after several pipe bomb-like devices were discovered along a Labor Day parade route in New Jersey that Gov. Phil Murphy (D) and first lady Tammy Murphy were scheduled to attend, NJ.com reported,
A suspect was reportedly detained on Monday after police found "over half a dozen" devices on his property that was near the town of South Plainfield's parade route, leading officials to abruptly cancel the festivities.
Dan Bryan, a spokesman for the governor, told the outlet that both the governor and his wife were set to participate in the parade.
A senior law enforcement official with the New Jersey Office of Homeland Security and Preparedness told NJ.com that the devices were discovered during a separate investigation but officials canceled the parade "out of an abundance of caution."
