Another Suspicious Package Sent To Actor Robert De Niro In New York

Police are investigating a suspicious package sent to Robert De Niro in the Tribeca area of New York City.

It was discovered at an address associated with the actor around 5 a.m. near Greenwich and Franklin streets. Several streets in the area are closed.

The Tribeca Grill, owned by De Niro, is also located there.

Police decided to move the package to the NYPD's facility at Rodmans Neck in the Bronx for further investigation.

A source told ABC News that the package sent to De Niro was identical in contents and appearance to the other suspicious packages sent to Hillary Clinton, Barack Obama and others and also had the same return address to Democratic Congresswoman Debbie Wasserman Schultz.

NYPD is preparing to put highway closures into place to move the package in their total containment vessel, otherwise known as their bomb truck.

The package does reportedly have similarities to other packages received by high-profile Democrats and CNN this week.
