AZUSA — Bomb squad officials examined a suspicious box abandoned on an Azusa sidewalk late Tuesday, ultimately determining it contained only food, officials said.

Someone called police about 9:20 p.m. to report a 2-foot by 2-foot box, wrapped in plastic, that had been left on a sidewalk near Azusa Avenue and San Gabriel Canyon Road, Azusa police Sgt. John Madaloni said in a written statement.

The package could not be readily identified, and no one claimed it, the sergeant said.

“Taking no unnecessary risks in handling the package, officers  summoned the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Arson Explosive Detail,” he said.

“They were able to safely inspect the package and deemed it safe for handling after discovering only harmless food items inside.”

The area was cordoned off for about 90 minutes during the investigation, police said.
