PORTSMOUTH, N.H. -- A pickup truck outside Portsmouth High School, where President Barack Obama is scheduled to speak Tuesday, was towed away for security reasons.

Officials said a Secret Service bomb dog had a hit on the truck, but they did not say whether there was a specific threat detected. Secret Service members entered the unlocked vehicle after the dog circled it several times.

The truck had masonry equipment in it. It was parked off Andrew Jarvis Drive near the site where demonstrators were rallying. It was parked in the furthest lane away from the rally, closer to media satellite trucks.
