Bomb squad personnel responded to an Orange County bank Friday morning to investigate what authorities described as a suspicious item.
The "cylinder object" was found outside a Chase Bank near Orangethorpe Avenue and Euclid Street in Fullerton. The intersection, just north of the 91 Freeway, was closed for the investigation, but reopened just before 7 a.m. when authorities determined the object was not a safety threat.
The report was received at about 5 a.m. before the bank opened for business. Investigators deployed a bomb squad robot at the location, a strip mall that includes restaurants, a drug store and other businesses.
