MIAMI GARDENS, FLA. (WSVN) - Authorities have given the all clear at an elementary school in Miami Gardens after a suspicious device found on campus led to an evacuation.
Officers responded to Brentwood Elementary at around 2 p.m., Friday, after a custodian found a device on school grounds, according to officials.
7Skyforce HD flew over the scene showing teachers evacuating children across the street from the school. The children were seen walking in single file holding hands while being escorted by school personnel.
Cameras later showed a robot taking away the device, which was located near a chain-link fence. Moments later, an officer was seen picking it up.
Officials determined that the suspicious object turned out to be a water meter. It had wires sticking out with a timer on it, but authorities stressed it never posed a danger.
K9 units searched the property for any clues about what may have led to the device being placed on school grounds. The investigation remains ongoing.
