Bomb Squad Called to Investigate Suspicious Package at Cobbs Corner

A suspicious package found Friday afternoon at Cobbs Corner in Canton turns out to be a gym bag that was left behind, according to Canton Police.

The bomb squad was called in, according to Officer Ted Lehan of the Canton Police, to investigate a package found in the vicinity of Rocky's Ace Hardware in the Canton portion of the shopping plaza. 

The bomb squad cleared the bag and the situation was deemed to be under control, according to scanner reports. 

This incident in Cobbs Corner appears to just be a false alarm. 

The region of course is on heightened alert as authorities continue to search the greater Boston area for the second suspect in the Boston Marathon Bombing. 

The bomb squad was also called to Canton on Tuesday to investigate a suspicious vehicle at the Bay State School of Technology on Route 138. This incident also turned out to be a false alarm.
