WILTON MANORS, FLA. (WSVN) – Officials are investigating a suspicious package left near a Starbucks and Truist Bank on the 1500 block of Northeast 26th Street in Wilton Manors on Friday. <\/p>\n
7Skyforce captured a bomb squad technician entering the Truist Bank through the main entrance, where a bicycle and blue backpack were left outside on the ground. <\/p>\n
The technician emptied the contents of the backpack before walking into the bank. <\/p>\n
7Skyforce also showed the Starbucks, where there was a heavy law enforcement presence after reports of someone leaving a device or package inside the coffee shop. <\/p>\n
