MURRAY, Utah — Police officers at the Fashion Place TRAX station are working to find a suspect after getting reports of someone carrying what looked like dynamite.

Police say the suspect is an adult white male.

Carl Arky with UTA said detectives are monitoring video where the person in question was carrying a cylindrical object. However, the cameras only show a partial view.

Police have not confirmed whether or not a suspect is indeed carrying dynamite.

UTA Spokesperson Carl Arky says UTA Police are working to find the person right now.

Anyone trying to travel around the Fashion Place station and north of that area by train should expect serious delays because buses and trains were stopped for a while.

#TRAX Update 9:45 AM: All Red and Blue Line trains have been cleared to move through Murray Central. Continue to expect delays of up to 30 minutes as trains return to normal service.
