A suspicious-looking item was found outside the AON building in downtown Los Angeles on Thursday in what police say may have been a prank for April Fools' Day.
The LAPD Bomb Squad responded, said LAPD Sgt. Bruce Miyazaki, and it
was concluded that the object was not a threat. The 62-story building at 797 Wilshire Blvd. was not evacuated, he said, because the object was found outside.
It turned out be a bunch of aluminum beer cans tied together with
orange tape which had been fastened to a tree outside the building, Miyazaki said.
