NEW YORK - New York police closed off part of Times Square in Midtown Manhattan on Friday as part of an investigation into a suspicious package.
Police said the package was a cooler that was in front of the Marriott Hotel. As a result, several blocks of Seventh Avenue were closed to traffic and pedestrians.

NYPD spokesman Paul Browne says police have created some distance between the cooler and are "in an abundance of caution" looking into whether the cooler was abandoned by someone. Browne said no evacuations have been ordered from buildings.

A failed bomb attack on New York's Times Square on Saturday has heightened security in America's most populous city.

WNBC's Jonathan Dienst reported that the NYPD receives 100 suspicious package reports every day. These calls are up 30 percent since the failed bombing attempt last weekend.
