Police reportedly found “explosives” in a car near former President Donald Trump’s rally site on Long Island ahead of his speech Wednesday night.
If confirmed, it would be the latest shocking security breach and would come just three days after a would-be killer was arrested at his Palm Beach golf club.
Nassau County Police Department sources reportedly told One America News Network reporter James Lalino that “the perimeter of the rally site was breached and a blue barrel was removed.”
Additionally, during the raid K9s apparently “found an explosive device in one of the vehicles.”
Sources reportedly said the driver ended up running into the woods.
“No one saw if he had anything on him, they just saw him running away. There are a lot of cars parked, lined up on Hempstead Turnpike, just parking in the grass. Even in Eisenhower Park, they just park there,” the source continued to tell Lalino according to a post on X.
Thousands of MAGA fans are expected to descend on Long Island this afternoon ahead of the 7 p.m. ET rally at Nassau Coliseum.
