UPDATE: Suspicious Package in Del Rey Not a Bomb

Man calls FedEx Office store on Glencoe Avenue to report a bomb inside a package there.

A Los Angeles Police Department bomb squad was sent to investigate a suspicious package in Del Rey Friday that turned out to not be a threat, the department said.

A package was delivered to the FedEx Office store in the 4300 block of Glencoe Avenue around 2:45 p.m., according to LAPD spokesman Richard French. The male suspect dropped the package off and left the store, he said.

"He later called back and stated that there was a bomb in it," French said.

The package turned out to be "some kind of medicine box" and the all-clear was given around 6:30 p.m., said LAPD officer Gregory Baek.
