(KDKA) PITTSBURGH Federal, state, and city law enforcement officials were on hand after signs of explosives were found in a vehicle used by two local college students who allegedly tried to break into Heinz Field overnight. Carnegie Mellon University students Anand Durvasula and Sudeep Paul are now being held on $1 million straight bond each."Initially the two said they were CMU students and said they had tickets for the Steelers game. They decided to check things out so they knew where to go for the game," said Pittsburgh Police Chief Nate Harper. Security officers at Heinz Field say the men were caught on surveillance tape opening an unsecured door. "The males later returned to Gate 5 where Durvasula stepped on the chair, scaled the fence. At that time the field security approached and they attempted to walk away and were approached by Zone 1 officers," Harper said. The pair then told police they were working on a music video hoping to shoot the last shot on the field.
Initially, police at the scene did not believe there were any signs of explosives in the vehicle; however, the criminal complaint indicates two different dogs responded positively for hits of explosives inside of Paul's SUV Lexus. So far, Durvasula and Paul have been charged with criminal conspiracy and criminal trespass.
There was extra security on hand for Sunday's game and police say their investigation is far from over. Police say both of the men are U.S. Citizens of Indian descent. The men have a preliminary hearing scheduled for Thursday.
