Suspicious device found at midtown gas station turns out to be large firecracker
SACRAMENTO - Police say a suspicious device found at a midtown gas station Wednesday has been identified as a large firework.
A gas station employee told CBS13 that he noticed the device near some propane tanks Wednesday and picked it up. Not sure what to do with the object, he put it on a table.
Police were alerted and responded to the scene. They analyzed the object, including scanning it with an x-ray device, and determined that it was, in fact, a glorified M-80 firecracker, they say.
