PHOTOS: Robot inspects device

FOX25's Sara Underwood reported a device with red wires sticking out of it could be seen on top of the pay phone outside the Star Market. A robotic bomb disarming device was being used on-scene.

Photos were released from inside the Bank of America, about a quater mile away from the Star Market, showing a masked man pointing a gun inside the bank. Police did not say whether the incidents were connected.

Both of the devices were safely detonated. Police did not know whether they were explosives or hoax devices.

Part of Route 16 was closed from State Street to Rice Street for the Star Market investigation, and from Forest Street to Cliff Street for the Bank of American investigation.

Earlier this week, authorities found a device attached to a pay phone near a Needham school.
