Police closed Market Street between 10th and 11th while crews were on the scene. Since the all clear was given and nothing hazardous was detected, streets reopened just after 11 a.m.
Special thanks to the @STLFireDept for assisting our Bomb & Arson Unit during this incident. Nothing hazardous was located. The area is #AllClear and the streets are now open. #teamworkmakesthedreamwork
