Ticking noise in vault of Hartford, Conn., bank causes evacuation HARTFORD, Conn., Nov. 5 (UPI) -- Police were called to a Meriden, Conn., bank after an employee said a suspicious ticking noise was heard in the bank's vault. The area around the TD Bank branch on East Main Street was evacuated Monday morning, and nearby streets were closed as a precaution, the Hartford, Conn., Courant reported. Nothing suspicious was found. "It is probably an internal locking clock," said Police Sgt. Stanley Zajak, noting emergency personnel nonetheless took the matter seriously.
