Police determined Wednesday that a suspicious package on Kelton Avenue did not contain a bomb.

The Los Angeles Police Department received a call around noon reporting a suspicious cardboard box, said Arren Jefferson, LAPD spokesperson. After three hours of investigation, the LAPD’s bomb squad determined the package did not pose a threat.

A portion of Kelton Avenue near Gayley Avenue was closed while police inspected the package, and residents were evacuated from their buildings.

Jefferson added police take all precautions when they receive reports of suspicious packages, in case the package poses an actual threat.
