Jan. 4, 2020 By Michael Dorgan
The NYPD Bomb Squad has determined that a suspicious device reported at the Queens Place Mall Monday morning was a hoax.
Police received a report at 8:40 a.m. that there was a device, with a battery hooked up to two propane tanks, inside a Black Tesla inside a garage at the mall.
Police, the NYPD Bomb Squad and emergency services were deployed to the scene near 56th Ave. and Queens Blvd. The mall was evacuated.
The Bomb Squad investigated the car and determined that the device was a hoax. The NYPD also said it found a dog trapped inside the vehicle.
The NYPD gave the all-clear at around 11 a.m.
UPDATE: The suspicious package in the @NYPD110Pct has been deemed a hoax device.
Immediately upon responding to the initial scene, officers from @NYPDCT and @NYPDSpecialops rescued this husky that was trapped inside the vehicle. pic.twitter.com/Ik9Q8ZEo6q

How come they did not send in the social workers?
Yes please let us know about the dog. I hope they called Animal control and the poor baby was removed and the animal is safe.
Where is the dog ? and is he ok?
