It now appears that the delivery struck was stolen and did not contain any dangerous materials.

Great job by someone (ATF?)!

Raghead alert is HIGH!

Report any *ANY* suspicious activities to the FBI.

Who knows, this stop could have been the result of a TIP.

UPDATE:

NY 1 News

The Whitestone Bridge between the Bronx and Queens was temporarily closed in both directions Wednesday morning as police investigated a suspicious truck.

It now appears that the delivery struck was stolen and did not contain any dangerous materials.

Police drove the truck to the Bronx side, and traffic was allowed back on the bridge at about 10:45 a.m., an hour after it closed.

It is unclear whether anybody was taken into police custody.
