Update: Explosives Team Identifies 'Suspicious Package' as Bus Part

A possible bomb found on a Metro bus caused traffic to be closed in the Warner Center area of Woodland Hills.

What was at first described as a suspicious package, which caused traffic to be closed in parts of Woodland Hills' Warner Center Monday morning, turned out to be just part of a seat on the bus, according to Los Angeles Sheriff's Department officials.

The LASD's arson and explosives team investigated the "package" on the bus, which was on Owensmouth Avenue between Erwin and Oxnard streets, not far from the Warner Center transit hub.

Traffic was closed on Owesnmouth from about 9 a.m. to about 10:30 a.m., when the bus was given the all clear.
