Oct. 7: Police found a silver Mercedes Benz filled with explosives in New Haven, Conn.
The FBI is investigating the case of a car packed with explosives that was stopped Tuesday night in Connecticut by police.

FBI New Haven spokesman William Reiner told FOXNews.com that the bureau is now helping local police in the probe, but declined to elaborate.

Cops pulled over a motorist driving a car full of pipe bombs, rifles and a propane tank in New Haven about 11:30 p.m. Tuesday, according to FOX 61.

FOX 61 and other local TV stations reported that the male driver was arrested at the scene, but New Haven Police spokesman Joe Avery wouldn't confirm that to FOXNews.com.

A bomb squad was called in and a silver Mercedes was towed away, according to FOX 61. There have been no reports of injuries.
