Law enforcement destroyed a suspicious device that a person spotted in a Pleasanton parking lot and thought it looked like a manmade bomb on Sunday, according to city police.
"The device was safely detonated and they determined it did not contain any explosives," Pleasanton police said.
The situation began unfolding around 11:30 a.m. Sunday in the parking lot of U-Haul Storage of Pleasanton on Sunol Boulevard, with police receiving a report of a suspicious device. "According to a caller, it had foil and wires sticking out of it, which looked like a manmade bomb," police said.
Police responded along with the bomb squad and an unmanned aerial vehicle team from the Alameda County Sheriff's Office to investigate. The incident also led to police blocking off the area near Sunol Boulevard and Valley Avenue, until the strange device was safely detonated.
