Miami Beach Police responded to two false bomb threats today.
The first one involved a homeowner who thought he found a live grenade in box in his garage. The area of 44th Street and Royal Palm Avenue was blocked off for hours as police worked the scene.
According to a report by WSVN, a police dog offered a faulty positive read on the package.
“We immediately cordoned off the area to vehicular and pedestrian traffic,” said PIO Bobby Hernandez to the television station.
Ultimately it turned out to be a novelty toy.
At the Astor Hotel, someone called in a bomb threat. Nothing was found.
