Lake Mary Police weren't taking any chances on Saturday evening when two suspicious packages were found in a shopping plaza parking lot just after 8 p.m.
An area was secured with rope near a Pet Smart, which kept some people from picking up their pets.

"I'm a little concerned. My baby's in there," said Candy Heller, who was anxiously awaiting to retrieve her Cockerspanial.
A bomb squad sent in a robot to assess the danger, before a deputy approached to take pictures, while wearing a protective suit. Curious onlookers were also taking some souvenir shots.
"I really don't think it's a bomb or anything like that," said Alan Monty. "I'm just curious, trying to figure out what it might be."
Bomb technicians with the Seminole County Sheriff's Office eventually were able to examine what were described as two suitcases. It was determined that there was no risk to the public and the shopping plaza was reopened around 9:30 p.m.
