Suspicious Package Found at Sherman Oaks Center

SHERMAN OAKS A bomb squad was called out Tuesday to investigate a suspicious package left outside a Washington Mutual bank branch in Sherman Oaks.

A note on the package read, "Do not get close," according to reports.

The package was reported at 5:40 p.m. and Los Angeles police summoned explosives experts to the shopping center at Riverside Drive and Hazeltine Avenue.

The bank was already closed, but a Trader Joe's store and a produce market was evacuated and traffic was diverted away from the area.

"We're still trying to figure out what it is," the watch commander at the Van Nuys police station said of the package.
