Nothing hazardous was found Thursday morning after police investigated reports of suspicious activity near several trash cans outside a Wal-Mart Supercenter in Southwest Arlington.[[377445901,R]]
The Wal-Mart at 4800 U.S. 287 was evacuated "out of an abundance of caution" at about 10 a.m. after police received a call about a suspicious looking person who possibly put something in several trash cans near the store's front entrances.
A bomb squad robot sifted through the garbage cans, but didn't find anything suspicious, according to Lt. David Tyler, with the Arlington Fire Department.
The store reopened at about 1 p.m. after being shut down for more than three hours.
No injuries were reported.
