Police Hunting for Boston Bomb Threat Suspect

By Patrick Luce (Patch Staff)

Police are looking for a suspicious man who dropped a suitcase by the rear tire of a marked Department of Homeland Security vehicle then left the Seaport Boulevard area in a hurry.

The BPD Explosive Ordinance Unit detonated the package, which contained wires and other personal items. Boston Police Commissioner William Evans said investigators do not believe the package contained an explosive and no arrest warrant has been issued. But police would like to question the man caught on surveillance video leaving the package.

Police are seeking the public’s help in locating and identifying the man. Anyone with any information is asked to call District A-1 Detectives directly at 617-343-4248. To remain anonymous, call the CrimeStoppers Tip Line at 800-494-TIPS or by text the word ‘TIP’ to CRIME (27463).
