NEW YORK — A New York City police bomb squad removed a suspicious package from a Manhattan building associated with Robert De Niro Thursday morning, police said.

A law enforcement source told The Associated Press that the device appeared to be linked to the others sent to Democratic figures and CNN's New York City hub. The package looked similar to the others and had a similar device inside, the source said.

The NYPD said the device was taken from 375 Greenwich Street in the Tribeca neighborhood around 6:30 a.m. Thursday. That's the same address as De Niro's Tribeca Grill and the Tribeca Film Center.

A spokesman said police were called for a report of a suspicious package at the location around 5 a.m.

Video showed a bomb squad unit driving in a caravan through the city after leaving the neighborhood.

Authorities said on Wednesday the pipe bombs sent to prominent Democrats and CNN's New York office were packed with shards of glass and were intercepted. None of the seven bombs detonated, and nobody was hurt as authorities in New York, Washington, D.C., Florida and California seized the suspicious packages.

One of the explosives was sent to CNN, which prompted the evacuation of the Time Warner Center in Manhattan, where CNN has offices.

The NYPD recovered a package addressed to Robert De Niro that contained a device similar to those sent to prominent Democratic political figures.

The package was the same color, same stamps and same return address as the others.

Security personnel at De Niro’s production company noticed the package and called police.

The NYPD put the device into a bomb containment truck and drove it to the Bronx for disposal.

 The package is said to be similar to the ones sent to CNN and well-known people with Democratic ties this week, including former Presidents Clinton and Obama.

De Niro is an outspoken critic of President Trump and a major supporter of liberal causes.



 The devices were made of PVC pipe with digital timers and possible detonators attached.

 There was also shrapnel inside the pipes. An image of one of the devices appeared to have a parody of an ISIS flag attached to it.

 None of the packages exploded, so the FBI says it will be easy to get forensic evidence to track down the sender.
The New York City Police Department recovers a package similar to those found earlier this week at the office of TriBeCa Productions, which is used by actor Robert De Niro.
