Sheriff’s Bomb Squad Gets Scare at Headquarters
The sheriff’s bomb squad got to exhibit its skills Friday at department headquarters in Monterey Park.

They used a remote-controlled device to open the package, which turned out to be harmless, she said. Nichol said “it contained religious pamphlets and tapes.”
