Re: Police Investigate Suspicious Van in New York's Times Square:

The NYPD bomb squad is investigating a van abandoned in Times Square which officials say has apparently not been moved for some time.

The bomb squad is using a robot-based camera to approach the vehicle. Police say the area around 42nd Street between Seventh Avenue and Broadway has been blocked off as a precaution. Sources told NBCNewYork that it doesn't seem the area is in danger.

The van is a 1992 Dodge, and has tinted windows. A placard from a nonexistent law enforcement agency is on the dashboard. It has no license plates.

Police responded around 8:30 a.m. after a 911 call about a suspicious van. Security is tight as the New Year approaches.

Looks like the streets are re-opened again.

We were there at that time. Took awhile to get into ESPN Zone for lunch as they said they closed for a bomb scare. We did see tons of cops and police vans in Times Square.
