The bombs, reportedly assembled using readily available materials, were found in a concealed location, raising concerns over possible planned attacks.

The NYPD and FBI have launched a joint investigation to determine who was behind the devices and whether they were linked to any extremist groups. No arrests have been made yet, but authorities are following multiple leads.
Public Safety Concerns
Residents in the area have been urged to remain vigilant as police increase patrols. Officials have not ruled out the possibility of additional devices being hidden elsewhere in the city.
