Law enforcement officials flocked to downtown Concord Saturday night after receiving reports of a suspicious device near the State House, police said.
Concord Police were called to the area of 2 Capital Plaza at 8:05 p.m. Saturday evening and located an incendiary device.
The New Hampshire State Police Explosive Unit was called in and determined it was a smoke-style device designed to generate smoke rather than an explosion, police said.
The incident remains under investigation by the Concord Police Department, who are looking to the public in identifying anyone responsible for the placement of the device. Anyone with information related to the incident is asked to contact the police department at 603-225-8600.
