A Homeland Security office in the Cleveland area was evacuated Monday after authorities reportedly discovered a suspicious package nearby containing a live explosive device.

The device was found inside an office complex building in Brooklyn Heights, prompting the evacuation of at least seven nearby buildings, according to FOX 8 News.

The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) confirmed to Fox News Digital that Federal Protective Service (FPS) conducted a sweep after a suspicious package was reported in a UPS drop box. The situation has since been resolved, and everyone has been cleared to return to the building, officials said.

One of the agencies at the 925 Keynote Circle location is a Cleveland Homeland Security office, officials confirmed. The office operates as a satellite location for U.S. Immigrationand Customs Enforcement (ICE) under the agency’s broader Detroit Field Office, according to ICE’s website.
