A New York City shopping mall has been evacuated after a  car filled with propane tanks was reportedly spotted parked in its parking slots.

The Queens Place Mall in Elmhurst was shut up cordoned this morning amid claims a Tesla car had a battery hooked up to a propane tank.

NYC Fire Wire’s Twitter account said the evacuation concerned a ‘vehicle w/possible explosives.’

New York Police Department bomb squad officers are currently investigating the car.

Officers have closed-off local roads and evacuated people living nearby to the shopping mall while they investigate the scene.
