AUSTIN (KXAN) — Devices that were deemed "incendiary" by Austin Police were found at the northwest Austin Tesla showroom on Monday morning, police said.
Protesters gather outside Austin Tesla showroom for second week in a rowAPD said it responded to a call about suspicious devices at the showroom around 8:04 a.m. Monday. The APD bomb squad was called out to investigate.
The devices were "determined to be incendiary" and were taken by police without incident, APD said.
There have been numerous instances of vandalism aimed at Tesla showrooms and cars throughout the nation in the past few weeks, ranging from cars being defaced to cars or even Tesla chargers set on fire. In one instance, the Associated Press reported an Oregon man was arrested after he was accused of throwing Molotov cocktails at a store in Salem. It prompted the Justice Department last week to investigate, with Attorney General Pam Bondi saying "The swarm of violent attacks on Tesla property is nothing short of domestic terrorism."
