Sheriff's Bomb Squad Rendered 'Suspicious Item' On Gold Line Train In Monrovia Safe
MONROVIA (CBSLA) - The sheriff's bomb squad was at Metro's Monrovia L Train -- formerly the Gold Line -- station this afternoon investigating a "suspicious item" found on a train.
The "suspicious item" was discovered on the train as it pulled into the station about 3:55 p.m., Sheriff's Transit Services spokesman Ramon Montenegro said.
"It was suspicious enough to call the Arson/Explosives Detail," Montenegro said.
The Monrovia station was evacuated and trains were stopping at the Duarte Station on the east and Arcadia station on the west, he said.
The item in question has since been rendered safe.
