A bomb squad is investigating two suspicious devices found at a Thrifty Rental Car establishment near the Orlando International Airport.

The device was found inside a vehicle a the park-and-fly rental lot near Hazeltine Dr. and Semoran Blvd.

Authorities believe they have identified the device but are waiting to talk to the owner of a vehicle.

The device, discovered by an employee at Thrifty, was described as two jar-like containers with connecting wires. “I figured if somebody’s trying to blow something up, this would be a good place to drop something off, if you change your mind,” said the employee.

“I asked the guy what he was flying and he said, ‘Southwest and I’m late already’,” said another witness who spoke to the person of interest.
