Posted on 28 April 2014 by WestPhillyLocal.com

A “suspicious package” report near 46th Street and Larchwood Avenue wreaked some havoc in the area on Friday. As many neighbors in the area witnessed, the discovery prompted heavy police and firefighters presence, blocked streets and even a helicopter circling in the area. “There was quite a show of force between the cops and firefighters to address it – whatever it was,” one neighbor tweeted.

According to Joe Murray of the Southwest Detectives, the cause was a “remote control that someone thought could be a bomb.”

The suspicious package was discovered Friday morning, around 10:20 a.m. After checking on it, the police gave an “all-clear” about 20 minutes later.
