Ridgewood NJ, The Bergen County Sheriff’s Office Bomb Squad Unit was summoned to the Stop & Shop supermarket at 175 Franklin Avenue, Ridgewood on Sunday morning, 11/20 to investigate a suspicious canvas bag that was found next to the building’s northernmost outside wall. Output from a portable x-ray device deployed by bomb squad personnel showed the bag contained neither electronics nor explosives. Contents of the bag were turned over to Ridgewood PD officers for return to their owner, or disposal. A portion of the store’s parking lot was cordoned off while the investigation was underway. However, the building was not evacuated.
