Written by City News Service - A suspicious device found this morning in an abandoned car just off the San Gabriel River (605) Freeway in Cerritos turned out to be no threat, but the investigation prompted the closure of all freeway lanes in both directions, authorities said. California Highway Patrol officers found the device, initially feared to have been a pipe bomb, around 12:15 a.m. in a car abandoned on South Street just off the freeway, said Sgt. Harry Drucker of the Los Angeles County Sheriff's Headquarters Bureau. The car was a gray or silver Audi A4 with no license plates, a news photographer reported from the scene. Officers shut down the freeway in both directions and arson investigators were called in, Drucker said. A robot was used to remove the device, which was blown up in the freeway median, a news photographer reported. The device was found to be no threat, Drucker said. All freeway lanes were reopened by around 2 a.m., said CHP Officer Cheyenne Quesada. LOUDLABS NEWS
