A suspicious package that closed the Solana Beach post office was determined to be harmless.
The package was reported sometime before 10 a.m. San Diego County Sheriff’s deputies closed the building as a precaution and cordoned off the area while they investigated.
At about noon, deputies discovered that the box simply contained car parts. They learned a man had come to the post office before it opened, decided to leave and accidentally left the box behind.
A bomb squad never came to the scene and the post office was reopened.
