MT. LEBANON (KDKA) -- Mt. Lebanon Police say that they have taken care of a situation involving a suspicious package left outside State Rep. Dan Miller's office on Wednesday.

Police say a man was "acting strangely" in front of the building and was seen placing a bag near the entrance to a ground-level office. Police say when he was asked about it, he denied any knowledge of the bag, though he warned others in the area to be careful.

Police called officials from the Allegheny County Bomb Squad to investigate the package.

Rep. Dan Miller's Mt. Lebanon office is located at 650 Washington Road as well as the Social Security Administration and other retailers and offices.

Police originally closed Washington Road to drivers from Alfred Street to Academy Avenue. Police say the Bomb Squad determined the package wasn't dangerous and by 6:45, they had cleared the scene and reopened the road.

Now police are trying to figure out who left the bag there. He's described by police as a small-framed white male in his 60s. He was wearing a flannel shirt, blue jeans, a winter hat and carrying a light blue backpack. Anyone with information is asked to call the Mt. Lebanon Police Department by calling 911.
