Jacksonville, FL — The Jacksonville Sheriff's Office is investigating, after a small, suspicious item was found very close to a JSO substation Friday evening.
JSO says some of their officers spotted the item, just before 6:30 pm at the substation on Blanding Boulevard, prompting them to call the bomb squad in.

Just saw bomb squad officer return from the Substation area with a couple of items and hand them off. Hard to tell what they were. @ActionNewsJax pic.twitter.com/uOMB5cCRTN
