TAMPA, Fla. — Tampa police say a suspicious item found Friday afternoon on Cypress Street "has been deemed a non-threat."

Initial reports of the item led police to close a portion of Cypress Street from North Rome Avenue to North Oregon Avenue. All roads have since reopened.

Tampa Fire Rescue confirmed the item was a suspicious package delivered to a residence. Police said it "appeared to be a radio with wires coming from it."

Crews detonated the package and determined it was not a threat.
