Police closed a road outside a Delaware middle school after someone found a suspicious device on the sidewalk in front of the school.
The device caused Delaware State Police to close all lanes of Limestone Road in between state Route 4 and Hendry Avenue and put Stanton Middle School in Wilmington on alert.
Police expected students to be dismissed at normal time but suggested parents contact the Red Clay School District for alternative pickup plans since traffic was being diverted around the area.
The state bomb squad safely removed the device and police reopened the road around 3:40 p.m.
No injuries were reported.
