SAN DIEGO — The main entrance to North Island Naval Air Station on Coronado was shut down Tuesday morning after a driver was found with bomb-making materials, a base spokesperson said.

The driver approached the gate about 9 a.m., and was stopped and searched at the request of Naval Criminal Investigative Service officials, Naval Base Coronado spokesman Kevin Dixon said.

The search turned up bomb-making materials, but the materials were not assembled into any kind of device, Dixon said. NCIS took the driver in for questioning.

Traffic was stopped, and the inbound gate on Third Street and outbound gate at McCain Boulevard were closed. Both remained closed as of noon, he said.
