Boston police have been investigating reports of suspicious devices at least four (maybe as many as 20) different locations, including under major bridges, throughout the city today. On air reports have confirmed that all devices found were hoaxes.

Each investigated site has caused roads to be closed, with significant traffic delays.

Officials are sure to be un-amused.
