Authorities on Wednesday afternoon said several suspicious envelopes mailed to the Los Angeles Times headquarters in El Segundo were deemed safe by a hazardous materials team.
Nicole Nishida, a spokeswoman for the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department, said just after 5 p.m. that the envelopes had been screened and did not pose a threat.
Authorities said four suspicious envelopes had been mailed to the building, and police blocked Douglas Street and Imperial Highway for several hours.
