Authorities are investigating a suspicious item in New Jersey, after a backpack was found containing up to five devices.

The Union County bomb squad's robot found that the item could potentially be a live bomb.

The FBI and state police are currently deciding on how to remove it.

New Jersey Transit says service has been suspended between Newark Airport and Elizabeth, New Jersey.
