The employee moved the device to a wooded area?

Via Fox News:

An explosive device was found on Monday at the Westchester, N.Y., home of billionaire George Soros.

The Wall Street Journal, citing local law enforcement, reported that police received a phone call from the residence about a suspicious package.

An employee that works at the home found the package and opened it, revealing what appeared to be an explosive device, according to a press release from the Bedford Police Department. The employee then placed the package in a wooded area until authorities arrived.

The department told Fox News that a suspicious package was found in a mailbox. Police referred Fox News to the F.B.I’s New York office, which did not confirm the report.

Soros was not home at the time of the incident, according to the New York Times.

The bomb squad deactivated the device, and authorities have said there is no further threat to the area, according to the Journal.

The investigation has been turned over to the Joint Terrorism Task Force Division of the FBI.
