A bomb squad was sent to a McDonald's in Sherman Oaks today after someone left a briefcase in the restaurant and left.
Officers sent to the 13900 block of Ventura Boulevard about 11:30 a.m. detained a person and summoned explosives experts to the scene, Los Angeles police spokesman Richard French said.
The eatery was evacuated and the bomb squad was working to remove the item, a process that continued almost 90 minutes later.
