Authorities reopened Second Street after it was closed from Naples Plaza to Pacific Coast Highway for several hours Saturday afternoon as officers responded to reports of a suspicious device.
The Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department bomb squad rendered the device safe, and the bridges leading into Naples Island reopened sometime around 6 p.m. the Long Beach Police Department said.
The device had been reported at 3:24 p.m. in the 6400 block of Marina Drive.
It is unclear what the suspicious device is at this time, according to police who are still investigating.
A picture posted on Twitter by the LASD showed something that looked similar to a grenade.
