Police apprehended two of the three juvenile male occupants, but ultimately did not arrest them.
A member of the state’s Fire Marshal’s Office says that an IED device was found in the vehicle, which she said was likely for making homemade fireworks.
There is no information available about the third suspect.
The grounds appear to be open to the public Saturday.
