Authorities investigating suspicious divers seen near power plant

SOMERSET, Mass. (AP) Authorities are investigating a sighting of three scuba divers near a Somerset power plant early Saturday morning.

An employee of NRG Electric Generating Plant told police he spotted three scuba divers on a beach next to the northeast side of the plant shortly after midnight. When he called to them, they replied in a language that he didn't understand, said state police spokesman Tom Ryan. The three then fled leaving behind their scuba gear, he said.

Bomb disposal units from state police and the Federal Bureau of Investigation responded, but no explosives were found, Somerset police said.

Ryan said there were no indications of terrorist activity. He said authorities suspected the divers were involved in illegal drug activity that may be related to a coal ship docked at the plant. U.S. Customs is handling the investigation.

Officials found additional diving equipment near the coal ship, U.S. Customs spokeswoman Janet Rapaport said.

Wonder what the cops are going to do with all that gear... hmmm.

Acutally, a pretty scary story.

I would give anything to run into some guys up to no good

Shell, my guess would be that their gear isn't all that nice

I made the mistake of suggesting a guy put a WAY oversized notched female back when he was showing everyone in the parking lot. After he swore at me and threatened me and my vehicle, I walked away. Came back to my truck after my dive to find my other 2 tanks with their valves opened and drained. Guess he could have slashed my tires

I imagine these guys might have been a bit more violent:wacko:

There was a time when I would have confronted poachers myself. But since growing old and feeble and having had my butt kicked once or twice I've learned to pass on those confronting opportunities. Usually.

But still draining your tanks, what a jerk.
