(Cleveland)- A small fireproof home safe left in the parking lot of Wal-Mart in Cleveland Saturday resulted in the closing of the parking lot and the bomb squad called in.
Cleveland Police Chief John Foster said, they were contacted around 6:00 PM. Foster said with no one around they implemented their suspicious package plan, calling in the Georgia Bureau of Investigation Bomb Squad. The bomb squad loaded the safe on a dump truck and hauled it to a seclude area in the county where they blew it open.
Inside officials found items that led to the owner who said he had taken the safe out to get some items out of it and then failed to put it back in their vehicle.
Foster said the Wal-Mart parking lot and road was re-opened around 10:00 PM. One official said they had police cars and fire trucks blocking the road leading into Wal-Mart, but some people still tried to drive around the road block to get to the store.
