Authorities Investigate Suspicious Vehicle At Aberdeen Proving Ground

BALTIMORE (WJZ)—Emergency personnel have cleared the security gate at the Aberdeen Proving Ground after a suspicious vehicle prompted an investigation.

A spokesperson with  APG tells WJZ a suspicious vehicle attempted to gain entry on Wednesday morning.

"Since safety and security of the workforce and residents is paramount, all are being advised to avoid the area until the incident is resolved. Entry and exit is restricted to the Harford Blvd," said APG in a statement.

Officials say a Military Working Dog alerted the staff for a potential explosive device around 9:00 a.m.

The area was deemed safe after further investigation.

The vehicle has since been cleared and APG returned to normal operations around 1:00 p.m.
