SOUTH BEND, Ind. - The South Bend Bomb Squad was called downtown Friday afternoon for a "suspicious item" outside of the Memorial Health & Lifestyle Center. 

The report was called in just after 1 p.m.

Ashley O'Chap, Public Information Officer for the South Bend Police Department, said the found item does not pose a threat. 

Investigators say the item was a piece of equipment left behind by a worker.

Crews have since cleared the scene.
