Waterbury-WTNH, May 17, 2004 Updated 3:18 PM) _ The BJ's Wholesale Club in Waterbury was evacuated this afternoon because of a suspicious suitcase.
According to police, off-duty police sergeant from Bridgeport was shopping in the store. When he returned to his SUV he found a suspicious looking suitcase leaning against his driver-side door.
Police were called and a bomb-sniffing dog "got a hit," indicated there were traces of nitrate on the suitcase.
It's not clear yet if there is indeed an explosive in the bag.
The State Police Bomb Squad is on the scene with their containment trailer to take away the suitcase and safely detonate it.
Waterbury Police and State Police have cordoned off the area. Traffic has been re-routed and area residents have been evacuated.
The store is located on Reidville Drive.
