A DRY RUN?

Police investigate FedEx truck hijacking - CNN.com
NEW YORK (AP) -- Gunmen hijacked a FedEx delivery truck loaded with Christmas presents early Friday on a Manhattan street, officials said.

The driver, who was found later in Brooklyn, wasn't hurt, police and FedEx Corp. spokesman Steve Barber said.

The truck -- an 18-wheeler and one of the biggest FedEx vehicles -- was later found abandoned in the Williamsburg section of Brooklyn around 5:30 a.m.

There was cargo inside, officials said.

Jim McCluskey, a spokesman for the Memphis, Tennessee-based FedEx, said no packages were missing and that those in the truck would soon be sent out.

No arrests were made, and no suspects have been identified, police said.

The FedEx Express truck was headed to a company facility in Newark, New Jersey, after midnight when two men brandishing a gun confronted the driver at a traffic light, police said.

The driver was forced out of the truck and into a car.
