Fort Lauderdale police determined a suitcase that was left near the Macy’s department store at the Galleria Mall did not contain an explosive device, the department said.
Police were called to check out the suitcase around noon. Officers closed the Macy’s side of the parking garage while bomb squad officers examined the contents of the suitcase.
Around 2:30 p.m., the department announced the suitcase did not contain anything dangerous, and the parking garage was reopened.
