PHILADELPHIA - Two men have been charged after Philadelphia police and federal agents found a van containing low-grade explosives Wednesday night, Attorney General Josh Shapiro announced.Authorities say police officers found a group of 10-15 vehicles in the City Avenue Marriott parking lot.
Officers then witnessed the group of vehicles leave the parking lot once police arrived at the scene.Officers pursued the vehicles after they first attempted to unsuccessfully ram a Target parking lot barricade at 4000 Monument Road, according to investigators.
They were then followed down I-76 toward Center City and the Benjamin Franklin Parkway. A conversion van pulled over and the driver removed tape that had been covering the license plate.
