A bomb squad yesterday afternoon was called to investigate a suspicious item at the Santa Monica Courthouse, which was evacuated.
The item, which turned out to be no threat, was found about 1:15 p.m., prompting authorities to empty the courthouse at 1725 Main St., according to the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department.
The sheriff’s Arson-Explosives Detail was called, but the all-clear was given about 3:30 p.m., according to Deputy Ryan Rouzan of the Sheriff’s Information Bureau.
