Rice cookers cause panic in NYC
August 16, 2019 2:47PM CDT
- NYPD is looking for whomever’s responsible for leaving three empty rice cookers which prompted evacuations.
- The devices, two left in a lower Manhattan subway Friday morning and a third discovered two miles away were all deemed safe. However, the panic they caused was real.
- “It is possible that somebody put out a bunch of items in the trash today and this guy picked them up and discarded them. It is possible that this was an intentional act, and we have a couple of steps to go,” said Senior NYPD official John Miller.
- Photos of a white male, in his 20-30s, have been released.
- How much more aware of your surrounding are you right now? Have the recent mass murders caused any changes to your routines? Do you think someone planted the appliances to cause panic?
